Who can do what in Financial Services HRMS

Give each HR, recruiting and payroll owner access to the records they handle.

How permissions work

Record entry

Manage access lets a role create and update its assigned records.

Oversight

View access supports review without changing an employee or candidate record.

Decision owner

A named approver on a leave request, offer or pay run should match the person who made the decision; the role recording it must have edit access to that table.
