How to add a new Manager and grant access to Figure Manage

In short:

  • Create or edit the employee.

  • Assign the appropriate Role and Position. The Role must have permission to access Figure Manage.

  • Send the employee a link to create their password for Figure Manage.

If you need to give a new manager access to Figure Manage, first make sure they have been added as an employee. If they haven't been added yet, follow the How to create a new employee section above.

Once the employee has been created, assign the appropriate Role and Position. The Role determines which permissions the employee has. To give them access to Figure Manage, make sure the relevant permission is enabled for their Role. See How to edit Permissions.

Finally, the employee needs to set up a password to log in to Figure Manage. In the employee details, click Send new password / Reset password. The employee will receive a link that they can use to create or reset their password.
