How to set up your custom tables permissions Custom tables permissions

Custom Tables Permissions define what users can view, edit, or manage within custom tables in the system. These permissions ensure that data stored in custom tables—often specific to teams or projects—is only accessible to authorised roles, while allowing managers and HR teams to efficiently organise, update, and analyse structured information. Properly configured custom table permissions help maintain data privacy, accuracy, and clarity across the organisation.

Employees must be assigned to the corresponding permissions group for employee permissions to apply.
