## What is auto-manager assignment?

Auto-manager assignment eliminates the manual work of keeping manager permissions up-to-date by automatically syncing role assignment with your HRIS management hierarchy. You can simply enable auto-assignment, and Pave will ensure that managers always have access to the right data—without any ongoing maintenance from your team.


## Auto-manager assignment configuration


1. Navigate to Settings > Roles and Permissions
2. Select the specific role you want to configure
3. Go to the Users section for that role
4. Toggle from "Add Users Manually" to "Assign Managers Automatically"
5. Save the configuration

## FAQ

* **How often does auto-assignment update?** Every time our data fetcher runs, we check for manager changes and update role assignments accordingly.
* **What happens if my HRIS integration is paused?** We will not automatically update anything since we're not fetching new data. Auto-assignment resumes when the integration is active.
* **What happens when I switch from automatic back to manual assignment?** We intentionally keep all users that were automatically assigned. This provides a better starting point since manager roles often align with but aren't perfectly one-to-one with other planning roles.
* **Can I edit automatically assigned users?** No, you cannot edit individual users in auto-assigned roles. If you need to make manual changes, switch the role back to manual assignment.
* **Which roles support auto-assignment?** Auto-assignment is not available for the default employee role or admin role. This is intentional as these roles have different permission requirements.
* **What about absolute permissions?** You'll see warnings (but not blocking errors) when setting absolute permissions on auto-assigned roles. Absolute permissions carry more risk than relative permissions because assigned users get broad access not based on their actual reporting structure.
  * Absolute permissions are when you're setting a fixed permission not based on the user's attributes (e.g. department = engineering)
  * Relative permissions are when you're setting a permission based on the user (e.g. can see my full roll up)
