    How to set up an offboarding in Huma?

    I am a system administrator and will be leaving the company.

    There is no direct "transfer" of the system, and to ensure that your new System Admin receives a proper handover to the role of system admin in Huma, you need to do the following:

    • Document 

    It is important that documents containing critical information are transferred to the new System Amin. If you are listed as the "document owner," ownership must be transferred if you want them to be editable and viewable. By sharing "access," the new System Admin can only preview the documents and not modify them.

    We have launched a "bulk change" feature for documents, allowing you to transfer ownership of these in bulk. You can select the relevant documents, and from the blue bar at the bottom of the page, you can choose what actions to take. 

    • Meetings

    If you are the "meeting host" for important meetings that you want the new System Admin to have insight into, it is crucial to add her as a "participant" or assign her as the new "meeting host."

    1. Go to the relevant meeting(s)

    2. Click on the three black dots

    3. "Edit details" and modify the meeting details in the window that appears. 

    • Access and Correct Roles

    It is essential that the new System Admin is assigned the correct roles in Huma so that she has the overview and access she needs. The most important role is the System Admin role, and she can also be assigned the "User Role."

      • The System Role gives her the ability to manage the system (modules, etc.)
      • The User Role provides her with access at the user level, allowing her to manage teams/locations and employee profile cards.

    • Set up subordinates

    Unfortunately, there is no function in Huma that can do this automatically; it is a manual task where each subordinate and superior must be set up individually.

    The simplest way to do this is by going to the new System Admin´s profile card => "about" => and under "intro," add "subordinates." This way, you don’t have to go into each of her subordinates' profiles to add her as their superior.

    Be sure to create effective offboarding templates with tasks that help the company retain important data. One key task is to ask departing employees to transfer ownership of documents.
