Notifications in the app
With the Huma app, you get push notifications about what is relevant to you. For example, you are notified about new tasks, absence that is approved, documents shared with you, survey invitations and colleagues' birthdays.
If you have an administrator role, you also get notifications about what you are responsible for, such as new absence requests or deviation cases.
Roles and access
| Access | Role |
|---|---|
| Receive user notifications and change your own settings | All employees, no role required |
| Receive admin notifications | Users with a role that gives access to the module, for example absence approval or deviation case handling |
💡 Notification settings are personal. Administrators cannot change them on behalf of employees.

Can an administrator turn off notifications for me?
