Best SupportAccess rules
Rule-based roles and data scope
Roles in PeopleForce follow your company structure instead of a list of names. You define who holds a role and whose data it opens. Both are conditions, so access updates as people join, change department or leave.
Field permissions
Field-level permissions for employee data
For every field on the employee profile, including custom fields, a role gets no access, view or edit. Salaries, emergency contacts, children, notes and documents stay closed to a new role until you open them. Administrators see all data.
Sign-in
Single sign-on and two-factor authentication
Connect Google, Microsoft, a SAML identity provider or LDAP. Enforce SSO login blocks password sign-in on the server.
Recruiting access
External recruiter and candidate data access
External recruiters work only with the vacancies they are added to and, by default, see only the candidates they bring in. Inside the team, candidate salary expectations and sensitive candidate details are separate permissions, so a hiring manager can review a candidate without seeing either.
Audit
Security audit, system log and data change history
Three reports answer the questions an auditor asks: who can sign in, who did what, and how employee data changed.
Who can sign in
Security audit report
Lists every active employee with self-service access, two-factor status, last sign-in, last activity and last password change, plus last sign-in IP when IP tracking is on. The report can be exported.
Who did what
System log
Records changes to employee data made in the web app and through the public API, with the person who made each change, the time, the IP address and the device.
What changed
People data changes
Shows the history of salary, position, compensation, employment status and other profile records: what changed, who changed it and when.
