The line under each skill on Grow shows where it came from. The source decides who can remove it.
Skill sources
On Grow you see | Where it came from | Can you remove it? |
Listed under For your job role | Your job role requires it. | No, while your role needs it. |
Listed under For your target role | The career target role you chose needs it. | No. Change your target role instead. |
Added by you | You added it from Add Skill. | Yes. |
Assigned by name | An Admin or Manager added it, or set a target level on it. | No. Ask the person who assigned it. |
From [Current Job Role] role | Your current target role, once you've rated the skill. | No. |
Previous Target Role | A target role you've since changed. It stays because you rated it. | No. |
In Manage, Admins and Managers see the same sources with labels such as Current Role, Assigned by Admin, Assigned by Manager and Previous Target Role.
Who else can remove a skill
Source | Your manager | An Admin |
Current job role | No | No (change the job role instead) |
Target role | No | No |
Previous target role | No | No |
Added by you | No | Yes |
Assigned by an Admin or Manager | Yes | Yes |
Previous job role | No | No |
Good to know
If an Admin or Manager sets a target level on a skill you added, it shows as Assigned by them from then on, and you can no longer remove it yourself.
When a job role stops requiring a skill, people in that role lose it unless they've rated it. Rated skills stay as previous-role skills.
