# How to change an employee's role

To change an employee's access level, go to the **Employees** section and use the **search bar at the top of the list**.
You can search by first name, last name, email, or employee code.

Once you find the employee, open their **profile**.

### Change the role

Inside the profile, you'll find the **Role** section, where you can assign:

- **Administrator**: full access to the platform and all settings.
- **Employee**: can only see their own information (profile, shifts, and related data).

Save the changes so the new role is applied.

### Turn an employee into a supervisor

If you need an employee to manage a team, you must assign them as a **supervisor** from the corresponding group, in the **Supervisors** section.

A supervisor can:

- Approve group absences.
- Validate group clock-ins.
- View the group planning.

Important: the supervisor only has visibility and management capabilities over the group they are assigned to.
