Employee Impersonation

Overview

An ESS administrator may want to perform actions in the module on the behalf of other employees. This can be done with the impersonation process. Provided they have the proper privileges, users may view another employee's information and use the module as the impersonated employee.

Setup

Before the Employee Impersonation screen appears, the user must be granted the Employee Integration menu item. This can be done via the User Access screen (standard Treeview path: ESS > Security > User Access). Find the relevant employee code, select the Assign Menu Items option from the corresponding drop-down menu, and make sure the 'Employee Impersonation' box is checked.

Implementation

The Employee Impersonation screen; standard Treeview path: ESS > Manager Self-Service > Employee Impersonate

To impersonate an employee, search for their employee code by pressing the Search icon and select it from the pop-up shown above, then press the [Start Impersonate] button.

The user will now have access to all of the information for the employee being impersonated. Press the [End Impersonate] button to end this process.
