# Employee, manager, administrator: who sees what in Weplanify

> In Weplanify, each person has a role that sets what they see: their own data, the employees of the groups they manage, or the whole company at once.

In Weplanify, the role is chosen in the **Access** tab of the [employee record](https://weplanify.io/docs/employes.fiche?lang=en), in the **Role and access** card.

## The three roles

- **Employee**: sees their schedule, clocks in, requests leave and fills in their forms.
- **Manager**: manages the employees of the **groups they manage** (records, schedule, time entries, requests to approve), on the [chosen modules](https://weplanify.io/docs/demarrage.acces-modules?lang=en). Without a group, they only see their own data.
- **Administrator**: all employees, the settings and billing. Salaries and payroll also require **Payroll access**.

## Good to know

- A sentence at the bottom of the tab sums up what the person will see; click **Save settings**.
- On their dashboard, a manager reads what they manage: "You manage…" with their groups and modules.
