[ACCORDION] What permissions are required if I only use Deel for Deel IT?
If you only use Deel for Deel IT, there is no need for Deel IT permissions. Organization admin permission is enough.
[ACCORDION] What permissions are required if I use Deel HR and Deel IT, and I want to separate the access between them?
- Provide the relevant Deel IT permissions to your IT team (This is providing access to Deel IT only, no access to anything else).
- If you want your admins to have access to Deel HR, provide the relevant group-level role to the relevant groups that this IT person needs. This could be viewer (non-sensitive) to view People.
- If your admins need more permissions, you should provide the relevant access rights for each group.
Deel HR is split into groups, and each worker belongs to a specific group. In addition to Deel IT permissions, you should assign the appropriate IT admin access for each group as needed.
If you use Deel for HR, your employees are grouped, allowing you to manage each group's permissions independently.
If an IT admin also needs access to the HR side of Deel, just add the right role or permissions for the groups they need in addition to their IT role.
