Assigning Payroll Admin security

Turning on Payroll Admin security authorization enables you to hide certain personal records from users who don't have that authorization. Then, you select the Require Payroll Admin Access option in individual employee records to restrict sensitive payroll records in Payroll and other ledgers.

Tip: Sage suggests you use Payroll Admin security together with GL Transaction Source Security to prevent users who are not payroll administrators from using General Ledger to view wage information.

To assign Payroll Admin security:

  1. Open the 7-2-2 User List window, and then:

    1. In the grid, for each employee that requires privileged access to sensitive information, double-click in the Payroll Admin column, and then type Yes.

      Note: Granting Payroll Admin security to any employee turns on Payroll Admin security for the company.

    2. Close the window.

  2. Open the 5-2-1 Employees window, and then:

    1. For employees whose salary and other information is especially sensitive (such as executives or owners), use the data control to select the employee record.

    2. On the General Information tab, select the Require Payroll Admin Access check box.

    3. Close the window.
