These settings are deprecated and company OKRs settings are now moved to company directory >> roles and permissions

Navigate to administration >> OKR settings >> Click on edit under company OKR permissions section. Different attributes in this can be used to dictate permission settings at the company OKR level.

Ideally, only a few users should be allowed to create & update company OKRs. 



Permissions to manage company OKRs

Company objectives can be added by 

By default, Employee Success admin & super admin are given the ability to create company OKRs & it cannot be revoked. In addition, if you need a few more users to be able to create company OKRs - check select users (in edit mode) & then add specific users using their Jira usernames, email or display names. This is how it will look like.



Company objectives can be edited by 

Here again, by default Employee Success admin & super admin are given the ability to update company OKRs & it is irrevocable. In addition, creator of the OKRs as well as responsible users can be given the edit access. We recommend having all the 3 of these checked true, so that the user responsible for company OKRs, creator of the OKR, Employee Success admin & super admin - all of them have edit permission. Since the system keeps a log of every change that happens to OKRs, one can always refer to the history to check if any unwanted changes were done along the way.
