Add a review viewer for a participant

The "review viewer" permission in 15Five grants a person read-only visibility into someone's review cycle results. You can be appointed as a cycle-specific review viewer, which grants you visibility into a person's review results for only a specific review cycle, or a global review viewer, which gives you visibility into all review results for a person.

In this article, you will learn how to...

• Add/change review viewers in bulk via CSV import
• Add/change global review viewers from account settings
• Add/change cycle-specific review viewers

Review viewers can be added in bulk via CSV import or on a one-off basis via an individual's account settings. Cycle-specific review viewers can be added via a review participant's 'Individual settings' page. This article walks through each of those processes.

Add/change review viewers in bulk via CSV import

This option allows you to bulk upload or change review viewers for multiple individuals at once. Review viewers added via bulk import will have visibility into all past, current, and future reviews for the individual. Only account admins have the ability to add a review viewer via bulk import.

1. Click the 'Settings' gear in the top right-hand corner of 15Five.
   
2. Select 'People' from the dropdown menu to open the 'Manage people' page.
   
   
3. Click to open the 'Import' in the top navigation bar.
   
4. Create a CSV that contains two columns: email and additional_manager. List the employee's email address in the 'email' column and the email address of the person you'd like to serve as their review viewer in the 'additional_manager' column.
   
5. Upload the file by clicking the Choose file button at the bottom of the import screen. 
   

Add/change global review viewers from account settings

This option allows you to manually add or change individuals' global review viewers from their account settings page.
