# Individual Permissions for Employees
In addition to the permissions that come from assigned roles, equipme allows you to configure a small set of individual permissions for each employee. These settings apply only to the selected employee and do not change the underlying role definitions.
These individual permissions allow you to refine how a person uses equipme without creating custom roles or modifying role logic.
> You can manage these individual permissions in the user profile.\
> Open the employee record and switch to the **Permissions** tab.\
> These settings work on top of the assigned roles and apply only to this specific user.
#### **Self service**
The employee may request services independently.\
Requested services still require approval according to the configured approval flow.
This permission is available to all employees regardless of their role.
***
#### **Show prices and costs**
Allows the employee to see prices in the marketplace and cost information in controlling views.\
This applies only when the employee uses self service.
If this permission is disabled, the employee can still browse services but cannot see prices.
***
#### **Access to the entire marketplace**
Allows the employee to request any service available in the marketplace, not only those explicitly enabled for self service.
Use this when a person should be able to request items beyond the default self service selection.
***
#### **Record service instances and inventory**
Allows the employee to manually capture inventory items and skip approval, ordering, and fulfillment steps.\
This enables the creation of active service instances from the employee’s own portfolio.\
For example, this is used when recording existing devices or retroactive inventory data.
***
#### **Remove service instances and inventory**
Allows the employee to remove inventory objects and skip approval, ordering, and deprovisioning steps.\
This permission is powerful and should only be granted to employees who manage devices or inventory lifecycle.
***
#### **Access to employees for the location manager**
Required for location managers to manage employees and their assigned services.\
Without this permission, the location manager can see the location but cannot view or manage employees.
