Introduction
When it comes to keeping tax documents safe, it's important for companies to control who can see and print these sensitive files. To prevent any security issues, there must be clear rules about who in the system can access the Tax Docs page. This involves choosing the right settings for each person, like No Access, View, or View & Print, based on what they need for their job. Here, we will discuss how to set these permissions correctly and share some key guidelines to keep everything running smoothly and safely.
Note: This permission only affects the Tax Doc manager. It does not affect the Dashboard or Search pages.
A. Problem Statement
This user setting will depend on the level of access a user requires in order to successfully perform a desired task.
B. Solution
On the Users manager page, in the Checks section of the FIS tab, there's a Payroll permission with a dropdown field. Select the option based on the usages listed below.
Usage 1:
If the user is to have no access to the Tax Docs page, the Payroll Checks setting should be set to No Access.
Usage 2:
If the user is to have access to view all tax documents via the Tax Docs page but not have print access, the Payroll Checks setting should be set to View.
Usage 3:
If the user is to have access to view and print all tax documents via the Tax Docs page, the Payroll Checks setting should be set to View & Print.
C. Best Practices
- User Role Assessment: Evaluate the roles of users within the organization and their need to access tax documents. Assign access levels based on job functions and responsibilities to ensure that only authorized personnel can view and print such sensitive information.
- Least Privilege Principle: Apply the principle of least privilege by providing users with the minimum level of access necessary to perform their jobs. This minimizes risk and protects against unauthorized access or accidental disclosure of tax information.
- Clear Policy Communication: Develop and communicate clear policies regarding the handling of tax documents. Users should be made aware of the rules governing their access to the Tax Docs page and the potential implications of improperly accessing or handling tax information.
- Regular Access Reviews: Conduct periodic reviews of user access levels to ensure they remain appropriate over time. Modify access settings as needed, especially when job functions change or when a user leaves the organization.
