Patriot Software, a provider of accounting software and online payroll, has released a new payroll permissions feature. Now, Patriot customers can control access to sensitive payroll data, increase security, have better protection against fraud, and reduce risk of errors.

Payroll permissions ensure that sensitive information is only accessible to those who need it. Business owners, payroll admins, or accountant partners can assign access levels for an unlimited number of users. Team members can be assigned to “view-only” payroll reports, while payroll administrators can process payroll and update employee information. In addition, administrators can assign users accounting permissions while restricting all payroll access. It will also allow Patriot’s accountant partners to grant access to view payroll reports for their clients, which improves efficiency and transparency for the accountant-client relationship.

“We understand the importance of data security and the need for businesses to maintain strict controls over their payroll data,” said Ida Starling, Product Manager. “That’s why we’re thrilled to introduce the payroll permissions feature to our payroll software. It gives our customers peace of mind, knowing that their payroll data is secure and only accessible to those who need it.”
