Click HR Admin, then click Setup.
Click Types.
For each absence type:
Review existing Update rights.
Remove all selected roles.
Press Enter, then click Save.
Understand how this works

Users canāt request, edit, or cancel absences.
HR Managers can still make changes using HR access.
Restore user access
When you want to enable changes again:
Return to HR Admin > Setup > Types.
Reapply the original Update rights for each absence type.
Click Save.
š Tip: Make a note of existing update rights before removing them to restore settings quickly.
