Each team within your organization might need visibility into different aspects of Agora but with various levels of permissions. Robust user settings allow for many types of internal stakeholders to be brought into the platform with appropriate access based on their function and role within the organization.
Before inviting a new user, you'll want to set up your permission groups - these determine the broad access to the platform including which modules someone should have access to. This article explains how Permission Groups work.
First Step: Set up and review your Permission Groups within your Agora settings hub. Note that only account Owners will be able to access this tab.
How to add a new user
Navigate to the Users tab within the settings up. Note that only Owners can access this tab.
Click on the Add users button
In the edit drawer, create and configure a new user profile
Work email (this is where the invitation will be sent)
First name
Permission Group (select from the pre-defined list of permission groups)
Compensation bands (optional... continue reading below.)
Assigning compensation band permissions
When you created your permission group, you would have defined the level of comp band access a group has. This is only relevant if you have stored your compensation band information in Agora.
You determined if they had access to:
All - and then determined if this group could or couldn't edit data.
Limited to direct reports - relevant if you have imported your org structure and are inviting people managers to the platform
None
If None has been selected, now is your opportunity to add any Ladders this user should have access to by clicking on "Add individual band permission."
Instructions and use cases:
Step 1: Set a max level this user is able to see across all ladders (this is optional). You may do this separately for IC and Manager tracks.
Use case: Brianna is an HRBP that needs access to all IC comp bands and only up to L3 managers across the organization.
Step 2: Select a Ladder this user should have access to and set level limitations.
Use case: Ben is a customer success team lead (L4). He needs access to band information for his team, but not his own band.
Step 3: Include all Ladders this user needs visibility into and define level access individually.
Use Case: Maria is the Director of Tech Support (Manager - L5) and needs access to all comp band information in both departments she manages, including her own level.
Accessing Compensation Band Information
Users with access to org structure and comp band data will be able to find this on the Jobs tab within Agora. The permission group and individual band permissions dictate which information is visible.
When data exists but the user is unable to access it based on permissions, they will see this message:
