Feature Admins

Feature Admins can perform administrative tasks for specific features and subgroups. Unlike a Global Admin, a Feature Admin only has access to the features and subgroups you assign.

Global Admins and the Account Owner assign Feature Admins from the Global and Feature Admins page.

To assign an employee as a Feature Admin:
  1. Open Account from the account menu. For steps, see How to Access Your Account from the Account Menu.
  2. In the left menu, select Global and Feature Admins.
  3. Under the feature heading, select ADD AN EMPLOYEE.
  4. Under Admin for, select the subgroups the employee should administer, or select All subgroups.
  5. Under Data Visibility, for Can view, select Salaries and/or SSNs if the Feature Admin should see that information.
  6. In the Name field, type the employee's name, then select ADD next to their name when it appears.
You must select at least one subgroup. Only features enabled for your employer appear on this page. Global Admins and employees who are already Feature Admins for that feature do not appear in the search results.

To switch between employee and Feature Admin accounts:
  1. Open the account menu (your avatar in the top navigation).
  2. If you are logged in as an employee, select Switch to admin account.
  3. If you are logged in as a Feature Admin, select Switch to employee account.
When logged in as a Feature Admin, you do not appear in the employee listing.

To edit or remove a Feature Admin:
  1. Open Account from the account menu. For steps, see How to Access Your Account from the Account Menu.
  2. Select Global and Feature Admins in the left menu.
  3. Next to the Feature Admin's name, open the actions menu.
  4. To change subgroups or data visibility, select Edit Permissions, make your changes, then select Save Changes.
  5. To remove Feature Admin access, select Remove, then select Delete to confirm.
