Details

To implement Manager Self Service, a MSS Security Role should be created to specify the screens and permissions the managers should have access to.

The Role Type for a Manager Self Service Role should be specified as Manager.



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


Info
Important
Linking reporting lines:
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.
