Line manager permissions are set universally under line manager's permissions. They only have access to the employees that report to them, and only to the information, you have granted them access to.

You have the ability to set line managers so they see their direct and indirect (secondary) reporting employees (detailed in the guide below)

You can customise what your line managers can see and do. This can be accessed by following the pathway: Configure > Settings > Change what Line Managers can see and do.

Please note: If you need managers to see more than one level you will need to give them HR Permissions
