Define New Hire Role Assignment Access

This section describes how to define the role access of the user roles configured in Dayforce. Role access is used to describe what roles users can assign to new hires they set up in People. Typically, users can only assign roles with equal or less access than their own. For example, you would configure the manager role to be able to assign the manager, assistant manager, and employee roles.

Roles are used to define what access users have in Dayforce; whether they can create schedules, review time and attendance, or edit employee records are all common examples of the kinds of access they grant.

  • For example, if you define the Manager role as being assigned role access to the Employee role when users with the Manager role set up new hires in People, they can assign the Employee role to the new hires. In turn, those new hires can access Dayforce according to the Employee role's security access.
  • See Security Configuration.
