👥 Roles and permissions
The following roles can assign a request:
Administrators
Compliance managers
Users
When a request is assigned to a team member, they’ll receive an email notification and/or a Slack/Microsoft Teams notification depending on their notification preferences. If another user makes a change to a request, e.g. changing the due date or updating the status, the assignee does not receive a notification.
📝 Note
Assigning a Hyperproof object or task to yourself doesn't send a notification to you.
📝 Note
The user assigned to upload proof to a request, continues to receive notifications about that request until it is set to Approved or Closed, even if they have uploaded the requested proof.
Note that to receive Slack or Microsoft Teams notifications, your organization must have the integration turned on. For more information on the integrations, refer to Integrations.
Assigning a user or group to a single request
Requests can be linked to audits or assessments. Note that a user does not need to be added to an audit or an assessment to be added to a request.
📝 Note
Request assignees must be Hyperproof users and able to log in to Hyperproof to complete the request. Contacts can't be assigned to requests because they can't log in to Hyperproof.

Select your audit or assessment.
