Getting Started & Access

Signing In & the Dashboard

The login screen is the entry point to Nexa People. After successful authentication, each user lands on a personalized dashboard whose content depends on their role.

Used by
Every user — employees, HR staff, managers, org owners, and the platform super admin — signs in through the same login screen.
Includes
Signing In, The Home Dashboard.

Roles, Users & Permissions

Nexa People controls what each person can see and do through a combination of a role tier (a broad access category) and a Role Template (a fine-grained permission matrix that can be customised per organisation). The two layers work together: the role tier gates entire sections of the app, while the template controls individual forms and actions within those sections.

Used by
Org owners and admins manage users and assign Role Templates.
Includes
Role Tiers, Role Templates, Managing Org Users.

Employee Portal vs HR View

Nexa People shows different navigation and page content depending on whether the signed-in user is an employee or an HR-tier user. Both roles use the same application URL; the role tier and permission template determine what is rendered.

Used by
All users — this is an automatic behaviour, not a setting you configure.
Includes
What Employees See, What HR / Admins See, How Extra HR Access Can Be Granted to an Employee.

Organizations & Multi-Tenancy

Nexa People is a multi-tenant platform. Each organisation's data is completely isolated from every other — employees, settings, payroll, attendance records, and all other data belong to one organisation and are never visible to another, even if they share the same Nexa People instance.

Used by
Organisation owners and the platform super admin interact with these features.
Includes
How Tenant Isolation Works, Self-Signup (Creating a New Organisation), Super-Admin Organisation Provisioning.

Notifications

Nexa People's notification system alerts users when something needs their attention — an Employee Portal request is waiting for approval, a request they submitted has been approved or rejected, or a holiday has been added to the calendar.

Used by
All roles receive notifications relevant to them.
Includes
The Notification Bell, The Notifications Page, How Notifications Are Created.

Approvals Workflow

Many actions in Nexa People follow an approval workflow: an employee submits a request, the request is routed to an approver, and the approver accepts or rejects it. This pattern applies across Attendance (amendments, remote work, shift changes, worksheets), Leave, and Payroll (advance salary, overtime, loans, and other salary requests), as well as Employee-module requests (info requests, resignations, suggestions).

Used by
Employees submit requests; HR managers, admins, and designated approvers act on them.
Includes
How an Employee Portal Request Is Submitted, How HR / Approvers Act on Requests, Approval Routing Configuration.
