Managing users is one of the most vital functions in UpRaise for Employee Success. At the moment, each user can have following attributes - Name & Profile Pic (populated from Jira profile),  UpRaise for Employee Success UpRaise role, designationmanager, teams. As the number of users grows, we recommend periodically checking your user list and making the necessary updates; or allowing your team members to update their profile information themselves via self service.

Note
  • For the server/on-premise version of the add-on - at the time of installation, UpRaise for Employee Success imports all the Jira users in its own data tables. 
  • For the cloud/on-demand version of the add-on - users cannot be imported at the time of installation of UpRaise for Employee Success. They have to be added manually. Or they will be added when they visit any UpRaise for Employee Success page.

dashboard in that email. When the users navigate to the dashboard they are automatically added to

While adding new user, admin or super admin has to decide the role of this user by clicking on UpRaise for Employee Success role option. If user based access is set and you are admin then you can assign role of user, admin, no access. If you are a super admin then all four roles i.e. user, admin, super admin & no access will be available in dropdown. For more details, read how UpRaise for Employee Success how UpRaise roles are managed

Clicking on the designation dropdown opens up the list of designations that can be searched through, by typing. Admin or super or super admin can not only select any of the existing designations, but also create new ones on the fly (refer to the screenshot below). When you start typing a designation that does not exist in UpRaise for Employee Success UpRaise data tables, it tells you (in brackets) that this designation will be newly created along with the user. Note that, if you do not go through the process of adding user - new designation will not be added.

As soon as a designation is created, it will appear under designation tab for managing designations.

While trying to make someone as manager of another user, it is important to note that the user should be first added into the UpRaise for Employee Success data tables. Essentially, while the user select box searches the users in Jira data tables - manager select box searches the users in UpRaise for Employee Success data tables.

Note
  • It is important to note that UpRaise

  • for Employee Success
  • does not allow a circular reporting structure. e.g. if B is manager of A & C is manager of B then A cannot be the manager of C.

  • Also, one cannot be his own manager.

One user can be a part of multiple teams. Thus the Teams search box allows searching & selecting multiple teams at a time. If the team does not yet exist, admin or super admin can create one on the fly - similar to how a new designation can be created.
