Once the Security Role has been saved, you will need to specify the permissions by selecting the Permissions tab on the Security Roles screen.

Important Comment

For Manager Self Service to function effectively, employees’ reporting lines need to be linked correctly on the Employee Position screen.

One MSS Security Role per Company will be automatically assigned
The system will automatically assign all employees to the MSS Security Role when they register for Employee Self Service. 
A company can only have one specified MSS Security Role.
