SumoPayroll provides predefined standard roles and also allows you to create custom roles to manage access control within the application.

1. Viewing & Managing Roles

Navigate to Administration > Roles to view existing roles.

2. Standard Roles (Predefined and Non-editable)

These roles come built-in and cannot be modified directly, but you can make a copy and customize them:

Super Admin
Employee
HR Manager
Payroll Manager
Accountant

3. Custom Roles

You can create custom roles in two ways:

Copy an existing role and edit its permissions.
Create a new role from scratch and define specific access privileges based on your organizational needs.

This allows you to control who can access and perform actions across various modules in Sumopayroll.
