# Update Reporting Manager and Role for a Staff Member

### Overview

Sprinto allows you to maintain organisational hierarchy by assigning a **reporting manager** and **role** to each staff member. These attributes help define reporting relationships, map organisational responsibilities, and enable accurate policy, training, and compliance assignments.

You can update these details from the **Staff profile page** within the People section.
