What is Role Management


Admins are able to make changes, set up policies, hire employees to the platform and more. You are able to assign employees to become admins on the altHR admin dashboard. Different levels of access can be assigned to an individual or group of employees by creating access policies. There are TWO types of admins:


1. Admin who has FULL CONTROL / access over all the modules in altHR


They will be able to manage all the settings in those modules, set up policies, and access all the data available in those modules include claim transactions, leave requests, employee data, and many more.


These admins normally are the business owner themselves, head of HR, and special project officer that monitors the whole altHR system.


Since they have the access to the company module, they are the ultimate decision-makers who will assign admin roles based on needs. They can give admin access to certain employees to certain modules.


2. Admin who could only access certain modules to carry out their tasks


As explained above, these admins are given access to only certain modules. For example:


  • Finance Head for the whole Expense module so he/she can manage the policies setup, configure the settings, monitor the expense process, and resolve any problems 
  • Senior accountant for only the expense transactions sub-module so he/she can process those claim requests
  • HR admin for only the leave requests and leave reports sub-modules. You may not want to give them the access to manage the settings or set up the policies.


In the end, it depends on your company's needs.


Where do admins login


New admins may access the admin dashboard via the following link: https://admin.althr.my/login, with their existing login credentials.


You will not be able to access the admin dashboard if you have not been given access as an admin to any of the modules.
