How to give someone permission to approve leave

Approving leave is controlled by roles, so you can hand it to a manager without giving them everything else an owner has.

Open your roles

Go to Settings, then Team, then Roles, and open the role you want to change.

Tick Approve leave requests

Turn on "Approve leave requests" and save the role. Everyone on that role picks the change up straight away.

Know what it allows

With the permission, someone can see leave requests across the team, open a request to check the work it affects, arrange cover, and approve or decline it.

Check the defaults

Owners always have it and can't have it taken away. Standard staff don't have it, so they can create, view and cancel their own leave only.
