Employee settings
Everything you can configure on an employee: identity, autonomy, limits, computer access, and the danger zone.
Open an employee and pick the Settings tab. Changes save automatically as you make them.
Profile
Their avatar, Name, and Role title (the subtitle under their name). Rename freely; nothing else changes.
Autonomy
| Level | Behaviour |
|---|---|
| Supervised | Acts, and keeps you closely posted as it goes. |
| Assisted | Acts, and speaks up at real milestones. |
| Autonomous | Acts, and reports when the job is done. |
Start new hires on Supervised or Assisted, watch a week of runs, then loosen. The level changes how closely they keep you posted, not whether they act: employees do the work they were hired for without asking permission first, and only stop when they genuinely can't continue without you.
Limits
- Max spend per day (USD). A hard cap on money spent on your behalf per 24 hours.
- Max external messages per hour. Rate limits outbound messages.
- Allowed email domains. Restrict who they can email. Leave blank to allow all.
Computer access
In the desktop app there's an extra section here: Let this employee work on my computer. When it's on, their files, terminal, and code tools run on your machine instead of a cloud computer, and anything risky asks you first with a native dialog. Screen control on macOS also needs Accessibility and Screen Recording permissions.
Danger zone
- Pause employee stops scheduled and autonomous work until you resume. Chat still works.
- Delete employee removes everything: activity, memory, chat, and connectors. You type their name to confirm, and there's no undo.
- A company's Manager can't be deleted on its own, because it runs the company. Its Danger zone has no Delete button and says so: for a company called Fernway, “The Manager runs Fernway. Delete the company instead.” Deleting the company, under Settings, then Company, removes the Manager and the whole team.
- Deleting a teammate from a company hands their unfinished steps of the plan to your Manager, and the options they made for your calls stay. Your Manager says who's covering in the team room, like this: “Iris has left. I'll cover Design until we hire.”
Note
Tools, triggers, goals, email, wallet, and memory are managed on the Workspace tab rather than here. See Managing your team.
