​

Workforce Manager

Workforce Manager is a new user role used for Restricted Groups. Enable this feature from Encord Labs.

Key Features and Usage:

1. Upgrade to Workforce Manager: Organization Admins can upgrade internally added members to the “Workforce Manager” role in the Organization dashboard.
2. Organization Visibility: Workforce Managers can only see Org admins and members of groups they are a manager of.
3. Group Creation: Workforce Managers can create user groups.
4. Group Membership Management: Within a group, Workforce Managers can:
   • Add and remove any Organization member.
   • Add other Workforce Managers or Admins as administrators or viewers of the group.
5. Project Group Assignment: When added to a Project as a Workforce Manager, you can add groups you manage (or are an admin of) to that Project.
6. Centralized User Management:
   • When a group is added to a Project only group members are added. Group Managers are not.
   • Once a group is added to a Project, the Workforce Manager can on/off-board users from the group. These changes automatically apply to all Projects where that group has been added.

Benefits:

• Simplifies user management for workforce members involved in multiple projects.
• Allows designated Workforce Managers to control team membership across projects in one central location.
• Efficiently on/off-board users (for example: when a member joins or leaves the workforce), automatically updating their Project access by removing them from the group.
