As referenced in the captions above, two Manager Groups are created because Carlos Hudson and Todd Montgomery are assigned as managers on Alan Edwards' employee record.

How are Manager Groups Used?

Manager groups help to streamline processes within your system. Common manager permissions, such as time approvals or schedule and account access, are configured globally. Managers are then easily assigned on employee records and automatically granted the configured permissions.

Manager Groups are also helpful for reporting purposes and simplifying communication and workflow efforts.
