# Update Reporting Manager and Role for a Staff Member
Update the reporting manager and role of a staff member in Sprinto to maintain accurate organisational structure and role-based compliance responsibilities.
### Overview
Sprinto allows you to maintain organisational hierarchy by assigning a **reporting manager** and **role** to each staff member. These attributes help define reporting relationships, map organisational responsibilities, and enable accurate policy, training, and compliance assignments.
You can update these details from the **Staff profile page** within the People section.
***
### Update the reporting manager
1. Log in to the **Sprinto dashboard**.
2. Navigate to **Data Library → People**.
3. Select the **Staff** tab.
4. From the staff list, select the staff member whose reporting manager you want to update.
5. In the staff profile page, locate the **Organization** section.
6. Click **Assign** next to **Reporting manager**.
7. In the **Assign reporting manager** drawer, select the appropriate manager from the dropdown.
8. Click **Save**.
Sprinto updates the staff member’s reporting hierarchy immediately.

### Update the role
1. Log in to the **Sprinto dashboard**.
2. Navigate to **Data Library → People**.
3. Select the **Staff** tab.
4. Select the staff member whose role you want to update.
5. In the staff profile page, locate the **Organization** section.
6. Click **Assign** next to **Role**.
7. In the **Assign role** drawer, select the appropriate role.
8. Click **Save**.
The selected role is now assigned to the staff member.

### Result
Once updated:
* The **reporting manager** appears in the staff member’s organisational profile.
* The **role** is displayed under the **Organization** section.
* Sprinto uses these attributes to map responsibilities, training requirements, and policy assignments

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:
```
GET https://docs.sprinto.com/data-library/people/dashboard-actions/update-reporting-manager-and-role-for-a-staff-member.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
