When setting up an HR-level user within HRWize, it is possible to reduce the level of access given to these users based on various options.

If left unrestricted, an HR-level user has the ability to view and update the majority of information in the system but cannot access the Company menu which can only be accessed by administrators.

To restrict an HR level user, go to:

People > Users

Click on the Edit action next to the user you wish to edit.

There are various options to restrict the access available to the HR user as these are found under the Permissions heading on this page.

• User module template - Here you can choose a module template that applies to the HR level user. Module templates restrict the modules available to the user. Please see the following article for further information on module templates.
• Restrict access to pay/benefits – If set to 'Yes', this user will not be able to view any salary or benefits information against any employees.
• Read only access to employee file – If set to 'Yes', this user will only be able to view employee’s information and will not be able to adjust any of the information against the employee’s file.
• Restrict Access to site(s) – If you tick any of the sites, the user will only have access to those sites. If you leave this blank, the user will have access to all sites.
• Restrict Access to companies - If you tick any of the companies, the user will then only have access to those companies. If you leave this blank, the user will have access to all companies.

Please Note - If either a site or company is select, the HR menu functions will become unavailable to the user. This is to prevent the user from making any changes that will apply to the whole company (i.e.: outside of the site/company where they have been restricted). You can choose to reinstate access to a number of these functions individually if desired. Please click here for more information on Permissions in HR Data Management Access.

• Apply manager restricted fields – If set to 'Yes', this user will be subject to the same field restrictions which have been applied to managers in the system. For more information on manager restricted fields, visit the Manager Employee File Permissions article. These manager restricted fields are defined in Display Settings.
• Apply manager module permissions – If set to 'Yes', this user will be subject to the same module restrictions which have been applied to managers in the system. These manager module permissions are defined in Display Settings.
• Restrict access to job level(s)– If these options have been selected, this user will only be able to view employee’s who are assigned to the respective job levels.
• Hide delete icons - If set to 'Yes', this will hide the delete button from HR users in all tables.
