# Employee Management User Manual
A usage guide for Employee Management
## Overview
Employee Management (EM) creates users who can access and use DIGIT applications. Traditionally used to add employees belonging to various urban local bodies, the module allows the creation of new users (employees), the assignment of roles to them, and the specification of their jurisdiction.
### Why is Employee Management needed?
A Sandbox account creator is assigned a Superuser role by default, meaning that they can perform all actions associated with a particular application.
However, in real-life use cases of DIGIT applications, different roles are assigned to different users. For example, the person who assigns a complaint is likely to be different from the person who resolves it.
Hence, the employee management module allows a Sandbox user to **View applications** from the perspective of different stakeholders by allowing user creation and role assignment.
### How does an employee view DIGIT products?
You can log in as an employee in the employee portal using the ID, which is an email address. You can obtain the ID from **Search Employees** in Employee Management.

## 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.digit.org/sandbox/specifications/user-manual/employee-management-user-manual.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.
