Prerequisites

Step 2: Edit the access level for your information

  1. Select the "See About Themselves" option

  2. Choose "Yes, Allow Access" for the "Should Employees be able to see their own information?" question

  3. Choose "Full Access" for "Which Access Level should apply?"

    • This means that the BambooHR Employee with this custom access level can see the same information for themselves.
