Managing your relationships in Fellow helps administrators keep the workspace organized and configure rules or policies for certain teams. This guide covers how to add direct reports, change your manager, and manage your 1-on-1 relationships regardless if you are an admin or a member.
For members
Add Direct Reports
As a manager, you need to add your direct reports in Fellow to manage your relationships effectively. There are several ways to do this depending on your situation.
If the user doesn't have a Fellow account
Your workspace logo on the top left corner
Select add teammate
Enter the email address of the new user
Confirm the email is correct
Select your reporting relationship with the new user
Choose direct report if they're a direct report
Click Send invite
Note: if you do not see this option, contact your administrator regarding licensing.
If your direct report already has a Fellow account
Option 1: Add them yourself
Go to User Settings
Under the Profile tab, scroll down to the Direct Reports section
Click the Add Direct Report button
Search for the name of your direct report
Click Add
Option 2: Have them add you as their manager
Ask your direct report to:
Go to User Settings
Select your name as their manager from the dropdown menu
Option 3: Contact your workspace administrator
Your workspace administrator can update reporting relationships from the Manage Users page.
Adding or Changing Your Manager
You can add or change your manager at any time in your user settings. You can do this by:
Go to User Settings
Under the Profile tab, find the Manager dropdown
Select your manager from the dropdown menu
For administrators
Workspace administrators can update this manually or choose to do a user sync with an external tool such as an HRIS, Google Workspace sync, or Microsoft 365 user sync. Alternatively, admins can update managerial relationships in bulk via a CSV file. For a full walkthrough, visit our Manage Users article.
