Full Organizational View from Top-Down

chris.hearn

I am getting a continual request from top-level managers to see all of the employees they are responsible in the Web Portal. Right now, they can only see their direct-reports which is based on who they are a Manger of in AD. They cannot see the direct-reports of their Managers., Has anyone ran into this scenario and know how to resolve it? I believe delegation can resolve it, but I can't see how the delegation can automatically apply to new employees or a change in organizational structure.

Thanks for any hints or point in the right direction!

    As mekindad says. You've two choices of how to walk your heirarchy to find the employees you can edit. The first option is through the person manager (person.uid_personhead), however watch-out for problems relating to breaks in the path. The other choice is through the organisational structure, e.g. department. This is more robust, but assumes that department manager's are populated. For an example see the  edit condition on the Person table for the VI_4_ALLMANAGER permission group.

    Thanks for the reply. I will try to be aware of that pitfall. Departments would be an option, but we have quite an extensive organizational structure and we have a lot of sub-managers that causes issues with managing that view logistically.
