This release is filled with tools designed to simplify workflows and empower employees, making it easier than ever to access important information and manage time off. From innovative security profile comparisons to an enhanced marketplace experience, these enhancements are aimed at elevating your overall experience and streamlining your operations this season. Let’s explore how these features can transform your workplace!
Security Profile Comparison
We’re thrilled to introduce a highly anticipated feature that will transform how administrators manage security: Security Profile Comparisons. This powerful enhancement allows you to explore your Security Profiles in unprecedented detail. With a simple click on any specific permission, you can instantly access a comprehensive view of all Security Profiles that have that permission turned on. Additionally, you will see the authentication levels and whether each profile has view, edit, add, delete, or read-only access. This eliminates guesswork and provides you with quick, clear comparisons, empowering you to make informed decisions about your security settings.

Employee Documents Permission
In the past, access to Employee Documents was limited to those with Manager Self-Service (MSS) permissions. However, a new Employee Self-Service (ESS) permission is being introduced in the Security Profile to allow employees direct access to Employee Documents. If an organization wishes to grant employees the ability to view, edit, and upload these documents, the "My Team" tab would typically appear in the menu. With this update, employees will now be able to view and edit their documents without needing to access the "My Team" tab.
