When a manager goes on leave, gets promoted, or leaves the organization, most workflow systems stop moving. Someone has to manually update approval routing, reassign tasks, or chase down who is supposed to sign off now. That maintenance burden falls on HR, IT, or whoever notices the bottleneck first.
StarGarden Authority Manager eliminates it. Authority in StarGarden originates at the top of the organizational structure and flows through positions via formal delegation. When someone steps into a role, they inherit the approval rights that come with it automatically. When they leave, authority stays with the position. No manual reconfiguration required.
For municipalities, regional health authorities, school districts, and organizations operating under collective agreements, that is not a convenience. It is a governance requirement.
Position-Based Routing
Approvals follow the position in your org structure, not a named employee. When someone steps into a role, their routing updates automatically.
Formal Delegation
Authority flows from position descriptions down through the hierarchy. Incumbents inherit delegated authority automatically when they take on a role.
Informal Trust Delegations
Managers can set up case-by-case delegations with rules governing whether those can be passed on further, keeping authority chains clear and fully auditable.
Absence Coverage
When a manager goes on leave, tasks route to their designated delegate and return automatically when the absence ends. No IT ticket required.
Escalation Rules
If a task is not actioned within a set timeframe, it escalates to someone with the appropriate authority and competency. Bottlenecks resolve themselves.
Position-Based Access Control
When someone changes roles, their access to data updates alongside their approval routing automatically. When they leave, access is removed. Your data security reflects your actual org structure at all times, without a separate IT process to keep them in sync.
Authority in StarGarden is not configured manually for each person. It flows from your organizational structure and updates automatically as people move through roles.
Authority is defined in your structure
Authority originates at the top of your organization and flows through positions via formal delegation. Position descriptions, reporting lines, and employment agreements establish who can approve what, before anyone logs in.
Authority follows the role
When someone takes on a position, they inherit its approval rights automatically. When they delegate for an absence, tasks route to the delegate according to your configured rules, and return when the absence ends.
When people change, routing does not break
Restructures, departures, and role changes update routing automatically. Approvals keep moving without manual reconfiguration or an IT ticket.
Municipalities, regional health authorities, school districts, and organizations operating under collective agreements have something in common: authority is not informal. Who can approve what is documented in position descriptions, employment agreements, and organizational policy. Delegations are formal acts, not casual arrangements.
StarGarden's authority model reflects that reality. Formal delegations flow from position descriptions down through the hierarchy and are automatically inherited by incumbents. Informal trust delegations can be set up on a case-by-case basis, with rules governing whether they can be on-delegated further. If a delegate is unavailable, tasks route back to the delegator rather than sitting in an empty inbox.
The result is a workflow environment that respects the authority structures your organization has already defined, rather than requiring you to rebuild them inside the software.
Position-based routing means approvals follow the role in your organizational structure, not the name of the person currently in it. When someone new takes on a position, they inherit the approval rights that come with it automatically.
StarGarden routes tasks to a designated delegate for the duration of the absence. When the absence ends, routing returns automatically. Nothing gets stuck in an empty inbox.
Yes. Authority flows through formal position descriptions and employment agreements and incumbents inherit it automatically when they take on a role. Managers can also set up informal trust delegations on a case-by-case basis, with rules governing whether those can be passed on further.
If a delegation is configured as non-delegatable and the delegate is unavailable, StarGarden routes the task back to the original delegator rather than leaving it in an empty inbox.
Yes. StarGarden manages data access by the same position-based authority model that governs approvals. When someone changes roles, their access to information updates automatically alongside their routing. When they leave, access is removed. This means your data security reflects your actual org structure at all times, without a separate IT process to keep them in sync.
Yes. StarGarden applies routing rules that reflect the different authority structures across your employee groups, so approvals follow the right chain for each situation.
No. Because StarGarden ties authority to positions rather than people, routing updates automatically when someone steps into or out of a role. Restructures and departures require no manual reconfiguration.
Yes. StarGarden routes grievance filings, disciplinary actions, and collective agreement-governed processes through defined approval steps, with a complete audit trail from opening through to resolution.
Yes. Authority Manager is part of StarGarden's integrated HRIS and payroll platform, so authority and routing decisions connect directly to HR, payroll, time, and scheduling without manual handoffs between systems.
Keep approvals moving through the right people, in the right roles, at the right time.
