I need to do the following:

- Add a "PARENT_ID" field to users ( ~ eg. ACF has this feature: hidden link )
- A user can create 'sub' users and only view/edit "his" users (= the users that have his USER_ID as PARENT_ID)
- Multiple levels (eg. user A -> sub user B with PARENT_ID of user A -> sub sub user C with PARENT_ID of B -> ...)

Example scenario:
- John is manager and has 2 team leads Sarah and Mike (= users with "PARENT_ID" of John)
- Sarah and Mike have multiple team members (= users with PARENT_ID of Sarah or Mike)
- Team leads Sarah and Mike can only edit/view their team members
- Manager John can view/edit anyone 'below' him (team leads and team members below them)

Is something like this possible with Toolset? And if not: what are your suggestions?

Thank you!

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

There is no such feature available with Toolset to create such user hierarchy.

Toolset offers addon plugin Toolset Access which works based on role. You can create different roles like managers team leaders and assign the desired capabilities to those roles.
