How do I manage custom user security settings via the HR platform

An employee in your organisation may just manage the asset register or they may assign learning to your employees. At Employment Hero, we have designed our Custom Security feature to suit this level of access flexibility. By using the Custom Security feature you can create security groups that can access certain features, and base this access on an employee list or team.

Important

There are two versions of this feature: Basic Security Access for standard and premium users and Advanced Security Settings for platinum users. Please refer to the Access Option premises in the Further Information section for more information.

Due to product limitations, the Headcount, Termination, and Compliance reports include directly reporting employees only, while the Leave, Timesheet, and Shoutout reports include both directly and indirectly reporting employees.

Helpful Hint

You can now set up Teams and Team Leaders to allow for more customisation around access and management. Click this link for more information on how to set up Teams and Team Leaders.
