# Who can see the results of a 360° feedback run?

> Understand who can see 360° feedback results. Admins and the recipient always have access; direct managers can optionally be granted access.

Results of a 360° feedback run are strictly scoped: by default, only admins and the feedback recipient themselves can see a recipient's results. Optionally, you can grant a recipient's **direct manager** access. This article explains the roles and how to configure them.

You manage this in the **Permissions** tab when creating or editing a run.

<Note>
  * Permissions can only be changed while the run is in **Draft** status. Once a run is scheduled or active, the setting is locked.

  * Standard roles (Admin, Feedback Recipient) are system-defined and cannot be changed.

  * The setting applies **run-wide**. Either every recipient's direct manager gets access, or none of them do — it cannot be toggled per recipient.
</Note>

#### Standard roles

Every run has two built-in roles:

* **Admin** — Sees **all** results for **all** feedback recipients. Admins have system access and this cannot be restricted.

* **Feedback Recipient** — Sees only **their own** results.

These roles always exist and are shown under **Standard roles** for transparency. They cannot be disabled.

#### Optional: give direct managers access

Under **Additional access** you can enable:

* **Manager (Reports-to)** — Direct managers can view their direct reports' 360° feedback results on the dashboard.

"Direct manager" here refers to the *Reports-to* relationship that is maintained on the employee record — not to survey reviewers.

When this option is enabled, every recipient's direct manager gets access to that recipient's dashboard — only to their own reports, not to other recipients. When it is disabled, only the recipient and admins can see the results.

#### Why reviewers never see results

Reviewers — the people who give feedback — never see aggregated results on the dashboard unless they happen to hold one of the roles above (for example, a direct manager reviewing one of their reports). Their submissions are always subject to the anonymity thresholds configured for the run.

#### Changing access after activation

Once the run is scheduled or active, the **Permissions** tab becomes read-only — including the Manager (Reports-to) setting. If you realise after scheduling that the access configuration needs to change, contact Honestly support.

Because of this, it is worth deciding carefully on the Permissions tab **before** scheduling: the choice you make there stays in effect for the whole run.
