Employee Directory - Viewing Security

Hi everyone,

We use Monday.com to manage our day to day management of employees as well as recruitment, induction and exiting. We are a non-profit using a non-profit account which I believe gives us the same as Pro users.

We are still reasonably new to using Monday.com and are going through some self managed training through the Monday.com Academy.

I have built our Employee directory and all our staff are listed here with information that we need on a day to day basis to manage staff.

I have then built a board that is connected and has mirrored columns/info from the main Employee Directory and this is set up for one of the Line Managers - where they only have access to view the staff they line manage. On my side the view everything looks great.

The problem I’m having is that the Line Manager themselves is not able to see the information and I believe this is because they don’t currently have access to the main board.

The problem we have is that we don’t want to give them access to the main board to be able to view this information because this goes against policies and the privacy Act of our country where we shouldn’t give access to information they don’t need to do their job (other staff details in this case).

Is there any other way I can get this working so they don’t have access to the main Employee Directory board and can only view the data on the mirrored/connected board that I have set up for them? They can access this board that I set up for them, but they only see the first column of data.

With the enterprise level, you have more permission settings.

There’s also an app that will work that’s not too pricy called ‘Same Item Multiple Boards’. You could set it up so when you change the status to ‘X’ person’s team, that the same exact items is created on that person’s board. Any changes to either board flow both directions.

Great, thank you I’ll check it out although I’m not sure I’ll get an extra cost across the line :slight_smile:
