# Update Reporting Manager and Role for a Staff Member
### 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.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
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 optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
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.
