Manager in User Profile
The manager role in an online application plays a crucial part in ensuring smooth operations, efficient oversight, and proper delegation of responsibilities within the system. This role typically has more access and control than regular users but less authority than administrators, striking a balance between supervision and hands-on management. In CodelessONE, the manager role is implemented using the Manager property of the User Profile Object. Initially the User Profile object does not have a manager property, as shown below.
This article deals with how to create the manager in user profile and briefly elaborates its uses.
While in the App Model, click on the User Profile object in the list.
Step 2: Add the User Profile property
Click the New Property button.
Name the property as Manager, set its type to User Identity, and click the Create button.
The Manager property is created. Using this property we can declare one of our app user as a manager of another app user. When this is done we can implement that managerial status to implement data access and use it in the approval workflow as well.
By default, the Manager property is not shown in the User Profile table. Using the Inline App Editor, we are going to make sure that this property gets displayed in the table.
Step 3: Make the Manager property visible
Click the App Settings icon 
and then click the On button, to enable the App Inline Edit mode.
Click the table edit icon.
Click the Properties link.
Click the Select Properties button.
Enable (select) the Manager checkbox and then click the Select button.
Click the Update Page button.
The Manager property becomes visible in the table.
Step 4: Use Manager property in the User Profile records
The property that we have created is used to determine which user (among all the users of the selected app), serves as the manager of whom? In other words, it is used to tell who is the boss.
Let’s say that Uma Jenkins and Karen Ellis are both users of the current application. Uma is the manager while Karen is her subordinate.
To set Uma as Karen’s manager, click the Ellipsis button 
next to Karen’s record and choose the Edit option.
Select Uma Jenkins from the Manager’s drop-down control.
Click the Save button.
Uma becomes Karen’s manager, in the eyes of the application. We can create other managers as well using the same process.
Uses of the Manager property
The Manager property, once created and configured using the relevant data, can be used while creating data access policies in Groups and Data Access.
The Manager property also plays an important role in the Approval Workflow, as the workflow is approved or rejected by the person acting as a manager, as per the property of User Profile.
