# Installing modules and choosing who can use them

Illizeo modules (Absence management, Expenses, Performance, Training…) are installed for the whole company from the app store. Once a module is installed, you decide who can use it: everyone, certain units of the organisation or certain people. This article is for the administrators of your workspace.

## Before you start

- The app store opens with the “Dashboard — Application switcher” permission, in the “Dashboard” menu of the role matrix, **Access** level.
- Installing or uninstalling a module, and changing who can use it, require “Module activation — Enable / disable” at the **Execute** level (“Platform administration” menu, “Module activation” section).
- The **Assigned people** tab requires “Module activation — View” at the **Access** level. Without it, the tab is not shown.
- By default, these three permissions are reserved for the Administrator role. They are set in **Settings › Manage Employees › Employee Roles** (see [Permissions & roles](https://illizeo.com/en/docs-category/platform-en/platform-roles-permissions/)).

## Opening the app store

1. Click your avatar, at the top right.
2. In the **Settings** section, click **Applications**. The **App Store** page opens on the **Illizeo Modules** tab.

Modules are grouped in three sections: **Installed for you**, **Available** and **Upcoming**. The filters above them (**All**, then one chip per category, such as **Time & attendance** or **Payroll & compensation**) narrow the list to one category.

Each card shows the module's status (**INSTALLED** or **AVAILABLE**) and how it relates to your plan: **Included** (part of the main plan), **Premium** (sold separately) or **Included during the trial**. When it is known, the number of active users of the module is shown.

The **External Connectors** and **Collective agreements** tabs, when shown, concern integrations and collective agreements: they are not covered here.

## Installing a module

1. Click the module's card in the **Available** section. Its detail window opens on the **Overview** tab: description, features and information (plan, version, update date, category).
2. Click **Install**, at the top right.
3. The badge changes to **INSTALLED** and the module moves to the **Installed for you** section.

On installation, every active employee has access to the module. It appears in their menu, according to their role's permissions, and its card appears in Settings. The **Configure** button in the detail window opens its settings directly.

### After the trial period

During the trial, every module can be installed freely. Once the trial is over, a module that your subscription does not cover shows **Subscribe** instead of **Install**. The **Subscription required** window explains that the module is not included in your subscription: **Subscribe** opens the page for adding applications to your subscription, **Later** closes the window. The **Subscribe** button is only shown to people who manage the subscription (see [Subscribing and changing your subscription](https://illizeo.com/en/centre-aide/settings-subscribe-and-change-plan/)).

## Uninstalling a module

In the detail window of an installed module, click **Uninstall**. Uninstalling is immediate, with no confirmation: the module disappears from every employee's menu and its card disappears from Settings.

If you reinstall it later, every active employee gets access again: individual removals made before the uninstall are erased.

## Choosing who can use the module

Open the detail window of an installed module, then the **Assigned people** tab. Three counters sum up the situation: **With access**, **Without access** and **Total employees**.

### By user

1. Stay on **By user**. The list shows every active employee with their position and department, and their status: **ACCESS** or **INACTIVE**.
2. Find a person with the **Search…** field.
3. Flip the switch on their row. The change is saved straight away.

**Enable all** and **Disable all** apply the same choice to the whole list at once.

Assigned people: access person by person.

### By organization

1. Click **By organization**.
2. Choose the criterion: **Company**, **Sub-company**, **Office**, **Department** or **Team**. Each unit is shown with its number of employees.
3. Switch a unit off to remove its access. The unit changes to **DISABLED**.

By default, every unit has access. A disabled unit becomes a lasting rule: its current employees lose access, and employees created later in that unit do not get access either. Switch it back on to give the unit access again. A choice made person by person takes precedence over the rule of their unit.

By organization: a lasting rule per unit.

### Informing the people concerned

Tick **Notify by email** before making your changes: each person whose access changes receives an email and a notification in Illizeo telling them the module has been enabled or disabled for them. The box applies to both modes, individual and by unit.

## What removing access changes

An employee whose access is removed no longer sees the module, even if their role holds permissions on it. Conversely, access to a module grants no permission on its own: what each person can do in the module always depends on their role's permissions.

## Special modules

- **Projects** has neither an install button nor an access setting: it is enabled as soon as Expenses or Attendance is installed, and its access follows those two modules. Its detail window says so with the message **Automatically managed module**.
- Other modules have no install button: their status follows your subscription. Their access can still be set person by person.
- A module in the **Upcoming** section is not yet open on your workspace: its detail window shows **Coming soon**, with no button.
- Some modules are reserved for specific roles, for example the Administrator role. The **Assigned people** tab then only lists the people who hold that role, labelled **Linked admin** (directly linked to the role) or **Admin by population** (holds it through the role's criteria).

## Good to know

- Uninstalling applies to the whole company and has no confirmation: to withdraw a module partially, remove access by unit or by person instead.
- The settings screens of a module that is not installed cannot be opened, not even by their address.
- For the mobile app, a separate setting decides which modules are offered on phones (see [Mobile app](https://illizeo.com/en/docs-category/platform-en/modules-mobile-app/)).

## FAQ

### No Install button appears.

Check that you hold “Module activation — Enable / disable” at the Execute level. If a yellow banner says the module status could not be loaded, check that you are on your workspace's own address, then sign in again.

### An employee cannot see an installed module.

Open the module's **Assigned people** tab: they may be **INACTIVE**, individually or through their unit's rule. Otherwise, check their role's permissions on the module.
