Question

My role keeps changing from Administrator to Payroll Manager. Is there somewhere else that my account needs to be updated to keep it set to Administrator?

I need to be an "additional" Administrator, not the Primary Admin. The other Admin keeps changing it back to Admin but when I log out and back in the system reverts back to Payroll Manager.

Hello, @SabrinaDQP. It seems the system is not saving your updated role as intended. This can sometimes happen due to syncing issues or permission conflicts. To resolve this, have the Primary Administrator remove you as a user from the Manage users page by clicking the dropdown arrow next to Edit, then re-invite you using the same or a different email address.


When re-adding you, the Primary Admin can assign you the Administrator role during the initial invitation process.

Feel free to reach out again if you have any other concerns. I'm always glad to help!
