Steps:

  1. Log in to ProLiant, click the Gear in the top right corner, go to User Administration, and Administrator Access

  2. Click Add.
  3. Role Type: Skip ESS (Employee Self-Service) — that's for employee password resets and is not needed.
  4. Security Role: Administrator
  5. Company: Select the relevant company/paygroup(s) for this client. If they have multiple companies in ProLiant, select all that apply.

    • Password: Alice user1!
    • Cell Phone: 917-336-9115

    • Reports — keep enabled (required)
    • Benefits — keep enabled (needed for benefit codes)
    • Hide bank information — yes, hide it
    • SSN / pay rate — keep visible (needed for eligibility)
    • HR — leave as-is for now; head of payroll can review and trim if needed
    • No custom role needed
  6. Under Available Companies, confirm the correct company is checked, then click Save.
