About Employee Level Security Warnings

Employee Level Security is contained within U.S. Payroll, but it does not restrict user access to any U.S. Payroll windows. For effective security, you should use Employee Level Security only in conjunction with Sage HRMS Payroll database security.

Before you turn Employee Level Security on or off, be sure that you understand the following implications:

• When you turn Employee Level Security on, users can see only employees on the selection lists that have been assigned to them. Once you turn security on, users do not see any employees until you assign a main selection list to the users.
• If you turn Employee Level Security off after setup, you will lose all of the Employee Level Security assignments that were set up on the User Security Setup window. The User IDs remain unchanged, but they are no longer assigned to any selection lists (except for the ADMIN ID).
