About Payroll Security

Two types of security are used for U.S. Payroll:

1. Payroll Security is part of the system-wide security managed in Administrative Services when security is turned on for your Sage HRMS Payroll database.

   With database security, you must belong to a security group that has authorization to view or perform a task using a particular window in the payroll program.

   • For information about turning on security for your Sage HRMS Payroll database, setting up security groups, and assigning users to security groups, see System Manager Help.
   • For information about the rights and authorizations used for U.S. Payroll, see Payroll Security Groups.
2. Employee Level Security is an additional type of security that you can use in U.S. Payroll to restrict the employees that users can see on the windows and reports that they are authorized to use.
   • If Employee Level Security is enabled, users can view only employees that are included on employee selection lists assigned to them.
   • If Employee Level Security is not enabled, users can view all employees.

To turn on Employee Level Security, select the Employee Level Security option on the Payroll Options window .
