Here at Connecteam, we understand that not all managers or admins are granted the ability to create or send Recognitions to users. Perhaps only direct managers should be able to send recognitions, while others are only allowed to view the ones that have been sent. Our Recognition Permission capability allows you to fully customize who can create, edit, send, or see recognitions.

This article will cover:

How to Access the Recognition Permissions

To access the recognition permissions, navigate to the Recognitions feature from the left sidebar, then to Options, and select Settings.

Types of Permissions

Now that you know where to find the permissions, let's go over each one. The different permissions are:

  • Send and Edit Recognitions - allows admins to send recognitions to users and to edit existing recognitions

  • Create Badges - this option allows admins to create new badges, but not to edit existing ones or to send/edit recognitions.

  • Edit and Delete Badges - allows admins to edit and delete badges but doesn't allow them to create new badges, or to send/edit recognitions.

  • View Only - allows admins only to view sent recognitions.

How Do I Set an Admin's Permissions?

To set an admin's permissions, go to the recognition permission settings, as explained earlier, and select the appropriate permissions for each admin. If no permissions are selected, the default setting will be view-only. Below is an example of how it looks when I assign Sara Manning permission to send and edit recognitions.

💡Tip: You can select more than one permission. For example, you can allow somebody to create, edit/delete badges, but not to send/edit recognitions.
