Automate what employees can see and do. Securely.

Permissions are a way of controlling what individual users can see and do within a software system

Permission profiles allow you to build a configuration of permissions that can be attached to different users. In most systems, permission profiles have to be individually assigned to users, saving you only from the manual work of rebuilding a profile. In Rippling, permission profiles are attached to specific employee attributes, like level or department. As employees get promoted, move teams, or experience other changes, their permissions will dynamically update, so you don’t have to perform any manual work.

Approval management is the process by which a business’s change requests—like new hires or time-off requests—are routed for approval.

An approval workflow is an automation that uses custom logic to decide whether to automatically approve a change request or flag it for additional approval. In some systems, you can customize approval workflows to include multiple approvers and even define whether the workflow needs multiple approvers or just one.

In Rippling, most approval processes can be managed in the Approvals app, though some approval logic can also be built in Workflow Studio.
