You can stop users from logging in temporarily to Sage HR. For example, you want to set up your company or apply some settings before users access it. You can do this from the employee's profile, or use the mass editing tool to disable access to multiple employees.

📎NOTE: To permanently prevent a user from accessing your Sage HR company, you need to terminate and delete their profiles in Sage HR.

Enable or disable access for individual employee

  1. Go to the employee's profile as an admin. You can either search for them or browse to them via Company on the main menu.

  2. On the profile menu, click Employee.

  3. Scroll down to the bottom, then click Personal settings.

  4. Select Self-service access enabled if you want them to be able to access Sage HR. Deselect if you don't want them to be able to access Sage HR.

    📎NOTE: Inform the employee when you disable their access. This is to avoid them assuming their login or Sage HR is broken, and request your assistance in error.

📌TIP: If you have disabled self-serve to give yourself time to set up Sage HR, we recommend you resend welcome emails to all employees in case links in their original welcome email have expired.

  6. Under To, select Yes or No as required.

    📎NOTE: Inform the employee when you disable their access. This is to avoid them assuming their login or Sage HR is broken and request your assistance in error.
