• Under Permission Settings, click the + (plus) sign to the far left of Employees. Click on the Modify Permissions tab.



 

• Then under Miscellaneous, click on the + (plus) sign to the far left of Directory Status to expand that section. Check the Edit box next to For all employees to allow all employees to edit all statuses.

• Now head over to the Directory to view and edit status messages.
