Payroll Security Definition – An Overview

After a payroll is defined, it becomes necessary to restrict its access to only the persons who perform payroll-related operations. Unauthorized manipulation of crucial information is thereby prevented.

The Payroll Security Definition component is used to set and view the user permissions for a payroll or a payset, through the following activities that are briefly explained below.

Setting user permissions for a payroll

This activity is used to set user permissions for a specified payroll.  User permissions can be set for a selected payroll. Multiple users can be given permission for the payroll; the date from which each permission is valid must be specified as well.

Setting user permissions for a payset

This activity is used to set user permissions for a specified payset.  User permissions can be set for a selected payset. Multiple users can be given permission for the payset; the date from which each permission is valid must be specified as well.
