There are three main groups in Vacation Manager:

  • Users Group

  • Supervisors Group

  • HR Group

Every user can be in one or more groups and will have permissions from every group that he currently is. So every Supervisor or HR can be also in User Groups, so they can also create new Vacation ResuestRequest.

All these groups are mapped to existing groups in JIRAJira. After setting them first time during Initial Setup you can change it later in plugins Admin Configuration.

Vacation Manager internally uses also fourth group - Admins. This group can't be configured directly in plugin settings, as all admins are getting directly from your JIRA Jira admin list.

Users Group

Main group for end users that can create new Vacation Documents (send new vacation requests).

User can:

  • create new Vacation Document for selected Supervisor (but not himself),

  • edit or delete his own Vacation Documents before sending it to Supervisor,

  • send his Vacation Documents to Supervisor,

  • browse only his Vacation Documents,

  • access User Menu in Navigation Bar Menu and its functions,

  • view his vacation statistics.

You can get more information for this group in Users Documentationsection.
