Utilising Manager Self Service Functionality
About
Employee Self Service (ESS) functionality allows the employee to log in as a user and access screens that are relevant to the employee. Manager Self Service (MSS) adds to this functionality by permitting the manager access to selected information of staff reporting to them.
Edition
This feature is available on Premier and Master.
Overview
To implement Manager Self Service, a MSS Security Role should be created to specify the screens and permissions the managers should have access to.
Navigate > Config > Security > Security Roles
Ensure you select the indicator
is this role a manager self service role?
Once the Security Role has been saved, you will need to specify the permissions by selecting Add/Edit/View Permissions link on the Security Roles History Grid:

Important Comment
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
If the indicator,
is this role a manager self service role? is selected, 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.
