Recognitions
For admins
🎖️ Allow Managers to Award Specific Badges (Without Admin Access)
We've introduced more flexible permission settings for recognitions!
What was the need?
Until now, badge permissions were quite broad:
- Either everyone could give badges
- Or only admins could send them
This made it difficult for organizations that want more structured recognition programs.
What's new
We now enable admins to configure badge-level permissions, so that:
- Only managers can award certain badges
- Without needing to grant full admin rights
Why this matters
This would allow you to:
- Create more intentional and meaningful recognition programs
- Ensure certain badges (e.g., performance-based or leadership awards) are only given by the right people
- Maintain control without over-assigning admin access
Where would this be configured?
Admins would manage this in:
- Admin Center → Recognitions → Customize Recognition Badgesat https://admin.teamflect.com/#/recognitionsettings/badges
- Each badge could have its own permission setting (e.g., Everyone, Managers only, Admins only).
Example use cases
- Managers award performance or milestone badges to their team members
- HR defines special badges that only leadership can give
- General recognition remains open to everyone, while selected badges stay restricted
