There are several User Permissions related to the Staff Portal. These permissions allow the User to perform tasks such as closing out a pay period or editing Staff Portal Logins.
User Permissions play a crucial role in protecting your data by controlling who can access, modify, or perform specific actions in your system. Review Protect Your Account - User Permission Guidelines for more information.
To adjust a User's permissions, go to the Gear icon > Settings > Users & Permissions > User IDs (click on a User ID) > User Permissions (left menu). Note: Users who are logged in when their permissions are changed will have to log out and back in for the changes to take effect.
