Designating Supervisors can be used as a security tool that will allow supervisors to only see those employees who have been assigned to him/her on their personnel profiles or employees who are assigned to the department the supervisor is restricted to. The configuration of supervisors can tie into User Access rights. If you choose to configure supervisors, and you begin assigning them on the employee profile screen, you must assign a supervisor to EVERY employee.

The supervisor would typically be able to view/edit any data pertaining to his/her employees i.e., reports etc.
