Custom role Compensation permissions allow admins to give specific employees admin-like access to Compensation.
There are two types of permissions an admin can set for custom role owners:
Company-wide: Permission will apply to all users
Targeted: Permissions only apply to the subset of employees that the admin has selected for the role owner. The role member(s) will not have access to the private information of other employees that fall outside of this subset. The role member will have access to view and edit Admin-only fields for employees in the targeted group.
Learn how to configure custom role admin permissions in Set Custom Role Admin Permissions.
