Hello Everybody!

 

I was wondering if it would be possible in Totara 11 to let the users choose their own manager job assignment?

In our case we (administrators) will set the job assignments for every user but we want to let them choose their own manager.  Is it a capability? Is it possible at all?

 

Thanks for your comments!

Hi Kinga

If you use the self registration with authentication to add user accounts there is an option to choose managers - also note that this means jobs are visible to the public which may not be wanted.

I looked at capabilities and there is one to 'Assign a temporary manager to yourself' which could be used - there isn't a permission to assign your own manager though.

Hi Craig,


Thank you, I did not know that plugin before! It seems to be very useful, so thanks again :)
