How to Limit the Ability to Edit Employees

For some companies, it may be important to limit administrator access to certain groups of employees. Location admins and department admins can now be disabled from viewing and editing employees who are not within their assigned locations and departments, providing an extra layer of security and privacy. To enable this feature, follow the steps below.

Select the People tab from the top navigation bar.

By disabling or unchecking the box that says Edit access for all employees you will limit your administrator’s viewing and editing permissions to only the employees they manage within their location or department. Under the People tab the administrator will only be able to view the list of employees within their assigned location or department. 

Once you have checked or unchecked this option for your administrator, select the Update User button to save your changes.
