PERMISSION NAME PERMISSION DESCRIPTION CATEGORY
Bio About - View

Enables user to view the Bio page for users within their permission constraints. This permission must be enabled to view the Transcript page within Universal Profile. If a user does not have this permission and they click a person's name or user photo within the Universal Profile, then the Bio page will not open.

On the Learner Home page, this permission also allows end users to view the Completions & Hours field, the training sidebar, and the Continue Learning carousel.

This permission can be constrained by Employee Relationship, OU, User's OU, User's Direct Reports, User Self and Subordinates, and User. Note: For security purposes, this permission is constrained to User Self and Subordinates by default. However, the permission constraints can be modified to allow users to view the Bio About page for other users.

Employee Transcripts - Manager/Approver Access

Grants access to transcript (training record) screen of those for whom user is designated manager, approver or cost center approver. System administrators can access all user transcripts from this page. Link to this screen appears under Standard Reports/Track Employees. This is a manager/approver permission. This permission can be constrained by Employee Relationship and User's Direct Subordinates.

Note: The Employee Relationship constraint allows administrators to constrain the permission to a user’s custom employee relationship. For example, an administrator can select to restrict the Matrix Manager relationship to viewing user data for users who have that Matrix Manager indicated on their user record.

Note: The User's Direct Subordinates constraint allows administrators to constrain the data that a user can view to only the data for their direct reports. The user will not be able to view their own data with this constraint.

Note: By design, for any Track Employees report permission that is included in the Manager default security role, all of the manager's direct and indirect reports are included in the constraints, even if they are not selected in the permission constraints for the role.
