Skill-related settings for non-admin roles: Allow users to assess their skills on their own.

We can also allow non - admin users to add and grade their various skills very easily and quickly. Just click on the setup menu button and select Security & Permissions from the list. Next, add the permissions for the required non-admin's user group to view their skills. Click on the setup menu again and select the Skills & Training option from the menu. You will be redirected to the Skills & Training page. On the page that follows, click on the Skill Matrix Automation link. You will be presented with the following two types of options for automation:

• BMP: Selecting BMP in skill level increment type enables a users’ skill to be updated according to the BMP formula.
• Linear: Selecting linear in skill level increment type enables a users’ skill to be upgraded if he/she gets an endorsement in the performance feedback.

Hope this helps :)
