Platform roles give organisations flexibility in managing Culture Amp, allowing admins to delegate administrative tasks to other users. This guide covers how to add a new administrator, assign platform roles, and manage permissions.
Before Getting Started
Ensure the employee you wish to assign the admin role to has first been added as a user in Culture Amp.
Need help choosing the right role? Check out our Roles and permissions overview and Detailed permissions breakdown articles to compare different admin roles and responsibilities.
Assigning Roles From the Roles and permissions Page
You can assign or modify the following roles from the Roles and permissions page:
Account administrator
Employee data administrator
Survey creator
Survey HR business partner
Survey comment replier
Survey data analyst
Performance administrator
Performance HR business partner
Develop administrator
Goals administrator (Goals New)
Department goal creator (Goals Classic)
1. Log in and navigate to Settings
Sign in to your Culture Amp account
Click the Settings icon in the top right corner.
2. Access Roles and Permissions
Click on Roles and permissions.
3. Assign role
Click on Assign role.
4. Locate the user
Use the search field to find the user by name or email.
Click on their name to select.
5. Select the desired role
Check the box next to the role you want to assign.
Important:
For HR business partner or Department goal creator roles, specify the department(s) by typing part of their name or clicking Select all.
For the Survey creator role, you can restrict access to specific organizational parts using demographic filters.
6. Assign demographic filters (if applicable)
Select both a demographic and a value (e.g., Country: Australia). This restricts the Survey creator to only manage surveys for employees in Australia.
Multiple values: If you select multiple values from a single demographic (OR condition), the Survey creator can add participants with any of those values.
Multiple demographics: If you select multiple demographics (AND condition), the Survey creator can only add participants that match values from both groups.

Click Save to apply the changes.
Assigning the Survey Admin Role
