Overview
Within the bureau dashboard, the three types of users are Bureau Admins, Bureau Managers and Payroll processors.
It's important to know that users with bureau admin access are able to access ALL brands, and ALL businesses within the partner account. With payroll processor access, you are able to individually select specific businesses that they have access to.

User types
There are three types of user within the bureau dashboard
- To manage users, go to Admin
- Click on Users
- Click on the name of the person who you want to edit the access of or click 'Add' to add a new user.
1. Bureau admin: For more information on this see here;
It is important to know that users with bureau admin access can access ALL brands, and ALL businesses within the partner account. With payroll processor access, you are able to select specific businesses individually that they have access to. You can view this article for more information on bureau dashboard user management.
Within the bureau, Bureau Admins are able to manage users. Users with Payroll processor access do not have access to the Users page.
2. Bureau manager
A Bureau Manager can be given access to a brand or brands, or be given access to all businesses. If they have access to a brand and new businesses are created within that brand then this bureau manager would have access to those businesses. However, if they have access to a list of businesses when a new one is created, they would need to be granted access to the new one. They can set up people as Payroll Processors.
3. Payroll processor: For more information on this see here.
Payroll processors may primarily be responsible for running the pay runs within a business, they will not have partner access. In this scenario, a payroll processor will be able to see the bureau activity feed, and perform actions such as creating workflows and business templates, but will not be able to add other users within the bureau or see businesses that they have not been given explicit access to. Additionally, once a payroll processor is added within the bureau dashboard, they are also given access to the business payroll file.
Primary User
The primary user is another layer of filters that allows you to divide your clients between your payroll team. It allows your bureau managers and payroll processors to be selected as primary users for a business. This enables the bureau manager to see who is running the payrun on the activity feed.
Helpful Hint
The Primary User is an optional control that can be assigned to any user. They will be in charge of a business or group of businesses and their payruns and administrative affairs. They can be changed or even temporarily assigned at any time, for example when someone goes on holiday.
Add a user
The Add user section requires the following:
- Email address: You can enter an existing user by entering their email address below. Alternatively, if you enter a new email address, a new user will be set up with access to this bureau;
- Access type: This will default to payroll processor only if you are logged in as Bureau manager.
- Select Brand or Business or Available to all businesses: You can select individual brands or businesses or select all.
- Assign Primary User
