This is the system companies use to manage who works here, when they work, time off, approvals, and how new hires get up to speed. Nothing here is hidden behind a training deck — the product matches this guide.
Roles decide what appears in the sidebar and what each API allows. The product enforces this — a missing page is missing access, not a hidden feature.
Full organization access
Owner
The person who created the organization, or someone given the owner role. They can see and configure everything.
What they see
Every workspace, people, HR, and admin page
Organization settings — branding lives under Organization
Company-wide people, leave, attendance, and work logs
What they do
Invite members, resend invitations, and remove people from the company
Turn modules on or off and set branding, schedules, and time-off rules
Log their own work and check in — but not edit other employees' personal profiles
Act on approvals — but cannot complete another employee's onboarding tasks for them

Runs the workspace day to day without needing to be the founder. Close to owner for configuration and people operations.
