Plan roles first, then assign permissions.<\/p>\n<h2 data-section-id=\"1nzx13e\" data-start=\"612\" data-end=\"639\">Why this setup matters<\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"640\" data-end=\"835\">Roles and permissions control what users can see and do. Proper setup protects sensitive data and keeps workflows controlled. As a result, only the right users can access or update information.<\/p>\n<h2 data-section-id=\"1fkdaf8\" data-start=\"837\" data-end=\"847\">Steps<\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"849\" data-end=\"989\"><strong data-start=\"849\" data-end=\"896\">1. Sign in to Synclo and open the HR module<\/strong><br data-start=\"896\" data-end=\"899\" \/>Log in to app.synclo.com with admin access. Then open the HR section from the dashboard.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"991\" data-end=\"1126\"><strong data-start=\"991\" data-end=\"1025\">2. Go to Roles and Permissions<\/strong><br data-start=\"1025\" data-end=\"1028\" \/>Navigate to <strong data-start=\"1040\" data-end=\"1088\">Manage Company &gt; Setup &gt; Roles &amp; Permissions<\/strong> to access the configuration screen.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1128\" data-end=\"1251\"><strong data-start=\"1128\" data-end=\"1156\">3. Review existing roles<\/strong><br data-start=\"1156\" data-end=\"1159\" \/>Check the current list of roles. This helps avoid creating duplicate or unnecessary roles.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1253\" data-end=\"1415\"><strong data-start=\"1253\" data-end=\"1301\">4. Create a new role or edit an existing one<\/strong><br data-start=\"1301\" data-end=\"1304\" \/>Click <strong data-start=\"1310\" data-end=\"1322\">Add Role<\/strong> to create a new role, or select an existing role to edit. Use clear and consistent naming.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1417\" data-end=\"1593\"><strong data-start=\"1417\" data-end=\"1454\">5. Assign permissions to the role<\/strong><br data-start=\"1454\" data-end=\"1457\" \/>Select the actions this role can perform, such as view, edit, approve, or manage. Keep permissions limited to actual responsibilities.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1595\" data-end=\"1705\"><strong data-start=\"1595\" data-end=\"1629\">6. Save the role configuration<\/strong><br data-start=\"1629\" data-end=\"1632\" \/>Save the role so it becomes available for assignment across the system.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1707\" data-end=\"1847\"><strong data-start=\"1707\" data-end=\"1742\">7. Assign the role to employees<\/strong><br data-start=\"1742\" data-end=\"1745\" \/>Open an employee profile and assign the appropriate role. This ensures correct access for each user.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1849\" data-end=\"1975\"><strong data-start=\"1849\" data-end=\"1874\">8. Verify role access<\/strong><br data-start=\"1874\" data-end=\"1877\" \/>Check that the assigned role provides the correct level of access. Adjust permissions if needed.<\/p>\n<h2 data-section-id=\"1jdjyjd\" data-start=\"1977\" data-end=\"1999\">What happens next<\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"2000\" data-end=\"2176\">After assigning roles and permissions, you can:<br data-start=\"2047\" data-end=\"2050\" \/>\u2022 control access to different modules<br data-start=\"2087\" data-end=\"2090\" \/>\u2022 manage approval workflows<br data-start=\"2117\" data-end=\"2120\" \/>\u2022 restrict sensitive data<br data-start=\"2145\" data-end=\"2148\" \/>\u2022 maintain system security<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2178\" data-end=\"2231\">This ensures that users only access what they need.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","help_category":[5,14],"help_tag":[22,48,65,68,71,74],"class_list":["post-95","help_article","type-help_article","status-publish","hentry","help_category-human-resource-management","help_category-setup-human-resource-management","help_tag-access-control","help_tag-hr-setup","help_tag-permissions","help_tag-roles","help_tag-synclo","help_tag-user-roles"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
