Switch Roles

Your user role determines which features and data you have access to in Dayforce. If you're assigned more than one user role, you can switch between them without having to log out of Dayforce. For example, you might have a manager role for working with your direct reports and an employee role for requesting your own time away from work.

To switch to a different user role:

  1. In the toolbar, click the Profile icon:
  2. The Profile menu.
  3. Click Select role. This option is shown only if you have multiple roles. If you have only one user role, the name of the user role is shown without the Select role option.
  4. In the Select role dialog box, click the role you want to switch to.
  5. Click Load.

Dayforce reloads and shows the features and data that you have access to in that role.
