User IDs can be set up to restrict access to employee payroll, banking, and contact information stored in the card file and in reports. You can select broad restrictions, such as disallowing access to the employee card file, or you can set specific restrictions, such as viewing employee banking details.
If you want to prevent a user from editing and viewing all payroll details, you need to restrict access to payroll reports as well as to employee card information and to the
Payroll command centre functions. You can set these restrictions in the access profile of each user ID. For more information, see
‘Managing user accounts’.
