How an Administrator Account Works in PurelyHR

Administrators do not count as billable users and can be created in unlimited numbers. Administrators have:

• A unique navigation menu with access to system‑level settings.
• Full visibility into modules and configuration options.
• The ability to add or remove users and override many account settings.

2. What Administrators Can Do

• 2.1 User & Role Management

• • Add or remove users from the account.
  • Change roles between Manager and Employee at any time.
  • Create new Administrator accounts

• 2.2 System Configuration

  • Admins can configure settings across all modules such as:

  • Time‑Off module settings
  • Notifications & reminders
  • Access restrictions
  • Company‑wide preferences
• 2.3 Notification & Email SettingsAdmins can manage:
  • Which notifications administrators, managers, or employees receive
  • System reminders
  • Department/office‑specific email restrictions

3. What Administrators Cannot Do

• Cannot submit Time‑Off requests or track their personal data under their admin profile. They need a separate Employee or Manager profile for that.
• Cannot approve their own requests; admin logins auto‑approve any requests they submit on behalf of others.
• Cannot convert an existing user into an Administrator. They must create a new, separate Administrator login with a unique username.

4. Main Administrator vs. Administrator

• Main Administrator

  • Has all Administrator abilities
  • Can control what other admins are allowed to do (i.e., modify admin permissions)

• Administrator

  • Can configure account settings
  • Can manage users depending on restrictions
  • Cannot modify other Administrators’ permissions unless they are the main admin
