Let Someone Run Staff News Without Seeing Payroll

You can let a sous chef or floor manager handle staff news. Meddelanden has its own permission, so you choose separately who can publish and which other staff views they may open.

What that person actually sees

With an active Personal module, the person needs Kan öppna /admin (open admin) and Publicera och hantera nyheter (publish and manage news). Without additional schedule, payroll or user permissions, only Meddelanden appears in the staff module. Check all their groups: permissions inherited from another group also affect the tabs they see.

So the person does not see what colleagues earn, who worked how much, or the staff register with phone numbers and employment details.

How to grant the permission

You need permission to manage permission groups and users.

1. Go to Användare ▸ Behörighetsgrupper (users, permission groups)
2. Create a group, for example "Staff communication", or open an existing one
3. Tick Kan öppna /admin and Publicera och hantera nyheter
4. If the person should also be able to remove inappropriate comments – tick Moderera kommentarer
5. Save, and assign the group to the right person under Användare

Do not add schedule or payroll permissions to the same group if the point is to keep them away from pay. It is exactly that combination that opens the other tabs.

Who it suits

The sous chef or head chef who needs to reach the kitchen with routines and menu changes without having anything to do with scheduling.

A floor manager or shift lead who informs the team about the day but should not see what colleagues earn.

Whoever holds the staff group together in a larger restaurant – someone needs to write about big holidays, staff parties and new routines, and it does not have to be you.

Worth knowing

The permission goes all the way. The person can publish, choose recipients, pin posts, edit and delete them, and resend notifications – everything described in the staff news article.

SMS costs money even when someone else presses the button. The channel choice is made per post, and SMS is charged per SMS part and recipient. Walk through the routine with the person once and you avoid surprises on the invoice – the cost is shown in the form before they publish.

Moderation is a separate permission. Without Moderera kommentarer the person can write posts and read the comments, but may only delete their own comments, not those written by others. If you choose not to grant it, it is better to turn off comments on posts than to leave a thread with nobody able to clean it up.

Administrators see everything anyway. If the person belongs to an administrator group the individual ticks make no difference – administrators have full access to the whole module.
