To decide who can access which parts of Figures, go to the Permissions Center.
1) Permissions Centre
You can only use features that your company has subscribed to.
Example: If your company hasn’t purchased the Salary Reviews module, no one will have access to it.
Default roles in Figures
Each user has one of the following roles:
Admin
HR
Manager
Employee
Recruiter
This role defines the default access to some parts of the platform (see below).
You can adjust which features are available for each role.
💡 What Admins can do that other roles can't
Invite or remove users
Manage integrations (e.g., with your HRIS)
Set up the compensation policy
Edit access in the Permissions Center
Access the company dashboard
2) Users
Click on Invite user
Fill in the User identity
Define a Role
Define individual permissions if you want to give specific accesses or restrictions
Automatic role assignment for managers
When you create a User, you associate them to an employee from your account.
If Figures spots that this employee is a manager, it automatically grants them access to managerial features based on their direct and indirect reports. This ensures that managers have the necessary tools to oversee their teams' compensation data without manual intervention.
💡 Managers get additional permissions on top of their role.
For example, someone can be both HR + Manager or Employee + Manager.
In that case, the most permissive rights apply.
