This article describes which report types each role can view or export from the Reporting tab in 15Five.
Note: This article covers the Reporting tab only. It does not cover Engagement survey reporting, the HR Outcomes Dashboard, or data exports available outside the Reporting tab.
Feature Structure
Role definitions for this article
15Five reporting access is determined by three roles:
- Non-manager employee — an employee who does not manage anyone in 15Five
- Manager — an employee with at least one direct report in 15Five
- Account Admin — an admin with company-wide administrative access
Important: Account Owners are a distinct role from Account Admins. Only Account Owners can access the Company data export.

Key Rules
- Objective visibility is identical across all three roles — access is governed by objective privacy settings, not reporting role.
- Check-in comment visibility for Pulse reports is always scoped to whose Check-ins the viewer can access — this applies to both managers and Account Admins.
- 1-on-1 agenda content is never included in 1-on-1 engagement reports, regardless of role.
- Company data export is restricted to Account Owners. Account Admins cannot access this report.
- Global Viewer access can expand an Account Admin's Check-in visibility to company-wide data. Contact your Account Owner to request this.
