Use the dedicated Salary Intelligence security profile to control access to external market data, employee salary data and employee identity details.

Overview


Salary Intelligence uses a dedicated security profile. It does not use the HR Manager security profile because it provides access to organisation-wide salary and identity data.

ℹ️

Salary Intelligence supports both Position-led and Employee-led organisations. Position-led organisations use terms such as "job role", while Employee-led organisations use terms such as "position".

Users who are not assigned to the Salary Intelligence security profile cannot see or access the Salary Intelligence module.
