# Let supervisors create participations

:::info
This feature is available only to users with the "HR employee" access level.

:::

Unless you change it, only HR creates the participations of a feedback process. You can allow supervisors to create participations themselves, for example for the annual reviews in their own team. You decide for whom they create participations and from whom they choose the feedback providers.

## Let supervisors create participations

1. [Open the settings of the review](/en/c/feedbacks/review-settings) and click "Edit" in the "Process & visibility" row.
2. In the "Who creates participations" card, choose "HR & supervisors".
3. Under "For whom", choose whether supervisors create participations only for their own reports or for all employees.
4. Under "Feedback providers", choose whether supervisors pick feedback providers from their own reports or from the whole company.
5. Check the result sentence below the two questions and click "Save" at the bottom of the page.

"Own reports" means everyone who reports to the supervisor directly or indirectly, plus the supervisor themselves. Supervisors then create participations on the status page of the feedback process, just like HR, see [Invite participants](/en/c/feedbacks/invite-participants).

## Which setting fits

* **For own reports, feedback providers from own reports**: the supervisor organizes feedback within their team, for example annual reviews.
* **For own reports, feedback providers from the whole company**: the supervisor also gathers feedback from other areas for their team, for example a 360° feedback with colleagues from neighboring teams.
* **For all employees**: supervisors create participations for anyone in the company, for example project leads for their project members. Feedback providers then always come from the whole company. This choice is fixed, and the note below it gives the reason. The result sentence also says which results supervisors see in these participations.

## What supervisors can do

As soon as supervisors create participations, they can also change feedback providers, reschedule invitations and delete participations in the participations of their reports. Which results they see is still determined by the settings under "Who sees what", for example [diplomatic status](/en/c/feedbacks/diplomatic-status).

## Participations for people outside their own team

When supervisors create participations for all employees, easyreview treats a participation a supervisor created like a participation of their own reports. The supervisor can manage it and **sees the results as they would for their own reports**. This applies only to participations they created themselves, and never to participations in which they are the feedback recipient.

If you later switch back to "Own reports" or "HR only", these rights no longer apply to participations outside their own team. The participations themselves remain.
