When giving access to employees on the People Module, it is important to set a limit on what information they can view and/or edit.

Previously, we can only set 3 different accesses:

No Access - staff will not be able to see their information

View Only - Staff can view their own information but not allowed to edit

Edit - Staff can view and edit their own information

With the recent enhancement, we have added another access option - Edit with Approval. Staff can now view and edit their own information, but will not reflect on the system until the People Administrator approves the changes.

In setting this access, you can use the existing Employee Access Levels you have previously created, or create another Access Level to set this to Edit with Approval.

Steps

Step 1: Login to the account.

Step 2: Click on .

Step 3: From the options, click on .

Step 4: Then go to the tab at the top .

Step 5: This is the page you will see next:

To create the Access Levels for Employees (Employee Level):

This will allow you to limit or specify what fields the users will have access to, when accessing their own profile in People.

To change the default employee access:

Step 1: Click on .

Step 2: Click on Employee Access Level .

Step 6: In each of the tabs, you will be able to set what type of access will be given to the staff who will be assigned to this Access Level.

You can assign one type of access for each of the tab and also assign an individual setting for each of the information

To set up the Access per tab - you need to go to the tab you want to assign this Edit with approval.

To set up the Access per line - you need to hover your mouse to change the settings and choose the third icon to have Edit with Approval

To edit the existing Access Levels for Employees

We will use these settings for example. Under the Sales team Access Level created, some information is allowed to be edited.

Those staff who are assigned to this Access level can now edit their own information but subject to the approval of the People Administrator.

We will use the staff Clark Anderson to change his information.

When the staff logs in to the account, they need to go to People then Info.

The staff needs to click edit button at the top of the screen.

Those fields that are not grayed out - those a just the information the staff is allowed to edit.
