Security Groups
Subscribe-HR comes with 5 Security Groups already defined to get you started. These Security Settings are:
- System Administrator
- Developers
- Employee Self-Service
- Line-Manager Self-Service
- Directors and Executive Management
Please note that if there are multiple Security Groups assigned to a User, they will be able to Flick between these groups using a Function, located on the top left of the user interface. See Also Multiple Security Groups Assigned to a User.
If you cannot see the Maintenance TAB or the Groups Folder, you may not have the correct permissions to perform Security Group changes.
Switching Between Systems
When an account is created in a system for a user that already exists in another system, a confirmation email will be sent asking if that account should be linked. Once confirmed, a drop down menu will appear which will allow users to switch between different systems they are linked to using selector in the top right corner.
To switch between systems;
- Click the drop down on the top right hand side of the system that has the name of the system you are currently in.
- Click the system you wish to switch to, the new system will load, and any changes you make from that point on will effect the new system.
Security Groups Explained
All users are assigned to one or more Security Groups. Security Groups define the users permissions within the system (this is what data the user can see and what functions and access the user has over changing the data).
User permissions can be set for View, Update, Create and Delete. The additional options are: View (By Manager), Update (By Manager), Create (By Manager), Delete (By Manager). These options relate to how the manager can interact with their teams records. The Orange X's signify that the settings and standard (Hard Coded) to ensure that Employee and Manager interaction can be perform easily and logically.
To Select the Option that you wish to assign to the Group, Click the Checkbox associated to the option required.
Example: Employee Training Records (View, Update). Employee (View). Employee Property (View). Once finished, click [Save] button.
Locating and Editing Security Groups

- If you wish to change the access on an entire folder simply check or remove the check in the appropriate column adjacent to the folder.
Example: Removing a check from the Delete column adjacent to the Employee folder will cause any user that has this Security Group singularly assigned to not be able to delete Employee's. If you wish to change the access at a page level, (allow or remove access to someone Viewing or Editing a field) select the folder and this will drill you down to the next level. - If you are making modifications to the Folder level ensure you select the [Save] button before drilling to a deeper level.

Multiple Security Groups can be assigned to users.
