Hi! I have set up LITMOS in a way that matches our performance management system setup. So managers have access to view all the teams that report into them, and only team leads can see their direct reports. Right now, a problem I am having is some manager are able to assign content to their boss (which I do not want to happen) and they are able to remove employees from their teams all together (which I do not love).

The problem I am running into is that I think in order for managers to be able to assign content to their teams, they must also have the ability to remove people from their teams. Which, in my opinion, these two should not be grouped together and should be separate functions.

With that context in mind, I am curious to see how others have their org structure set up including the high level roles and permissions you grant to your teams.
