Administrator Permissions in Zenefits

Each administrator's ability to view and make changes in Zenefits is defined by the interactions between their assigned permissions.

Each administrator may have one or more of the following permissions.

  • Hire and terminate employees, and edit employee profiles
  • View sensitive employee information (such as SSN and salary)
  • Create and remove admins, and edit admin permissions

Combinations of Permissions

Administrators with more than one set of permissions will have increased abilities to view or make changes to employee information.

For example,

  • Administrators with permissions to "Hire and terminate employees, and edit employee profiles" and "View sensitive employee information" will be able to view and edit all types of employee information and access all company settings except for the company-level Stock Options settings, and will not be able to create new administrators.
  • Administrators with permissions to "View sensitive employee information" but not "Hire and terminate employees, and edit employee profiles" will be able to view all types of employee information, but not make changes to employees or company settings.
  • Administrators with permissions to "Create and remove admins, and edit admin permissions" will also have permissions to "Hire and terminate employees, and edit employee profiles" and "View sensitive employee information."
