NOTE: Performance permissions do not impact Engagement, Effectiveness, and Experience surveys. Learn more about permissions on the rest of the platform in Account Settings & Administration

From an administrative point of view, there are three permissions-based roles a user can have in Culture Amp Performance, each with varying levels of access to employee information:

• Performance Administrator - As a performance admin, you have the ability to manage and access everything on the administrative side of your account. You will also be able to assign the roles detailed below to others as needed.
• HR Business Partner (HRBP) - As the HR business partner, you have Admin rights but only for specific department(s) assigned to you. You will be able to access information related to performance review, self-reflections and more.
• Department Goal Creator - As a department goal creator, you can create and manage department goals for employees in the department(s) you are assigned to. Department goal creators cannot create, edit, or view other features such as performance reviews, self-reflections or employee information.

Culture Amp Performance also leverages the organizational hierarchy from the user upload to ensure all members of your workforce only have access to the sections of the platform that are relevant to them. e.g. if a Performance user does not manage direct reports, they will not see any sections pertaining to management of direct reports.

• User: Typically encompasses the majority of your workforce who would be considered to be individual contributors, i.e. they do not have anyone that reports to them.
• Manager: This is the next access level up, it provides additional sections on team-based reporting and unlocks additional functionality such as Manager Requested Feedback.
