Global Admin
Do you have someone on your team who helps with HR-related tasks?
Would it be helpful if they had the same level of access to BerniePortal as the Account Owner? Now they can!
The Global Admin feature allows you to assign a second (or third) "account owner" to your BerniePortal account. A Global Admin has access to almost everything in the system: benefits, 1094/1095 reporting, billing, compliance tools, and more. They'll also have visibility into all subgroups and complete data access — just like the Account Owner.
To assign an employee as a Global Admin:
- Select the "Account" dropdown.
- Select "Global and Feature Admins" from the left side menu.
- Select “Add an Employee” under the "Global Admins" category.
If you have a team member who only helps with specific tasks, like onboarding, no problem! They can stay set up as a Feature Admin for just that area.
