Managing Company's Admin

Navigate the process of assigning and managing your Company's Admins with ease in the DecisionHR Guide. This crucial feature allows selected employees to handle key operations like payroll, tax setup, and team management. Let’s get your admin team configured for success.

What is the Company's Admin feature?

Your company's admin is usually an employee of the company who can perform administrative operations and tasks that include:

  • hiring and terminating employees
  • company's tax setup
  • running payrolls and others

Your company's admin has full rights to the company, as their rights are not limited. Also, there is no limit to the number of employees you can have as your company's admin.

However, you should know that your admin(s) can see other employees' payrolls. Therefore, handle it carefully and set this just to real company admins.

Where do you set your company's admin?

The company's admin feature is not expressly spelled out in the app. However, you can set your company from two main sections of the app:

  • from the teams section, which can be on your dashboard or the left-hand side of your board.

How do you manage the company's admin?

During company onboarding, the employee who onboards your company becomes the default company's admin. However, you can edit, add, or disable the current admin in the app.

You can manage your company admins in three main ways. They are:

Managing employees' user access

By default, each employee has either the Employee or Admin access. However, you can manage an employee's access in the team's section of the app. You can follow these steps:

  • After navigating to the Teams section, you then click on the employee you want to make the company admin.
  • In the Teams section, locate the Settings tab and find User Access.

Adding New Admin

In the company's section of the app, you can add a new admin by clicking on Company Admins. After clicking, the box expands, containing fields of information about the new admin you will fill in. The required information includes First Name, Last Name, Email, and Password.

You then click on Send Invitation to send an admin invitational email to the admin's provided email account. However, creating this new admin does not add the admin to the company's employee list in the app.

Adding existing team members as admin

Still, you can add an admin in the company's section by selecting the Add existing employee as Admin option. After clicking, you then select the employee from the drop-down list of employees to update the employee's access.
