Adding admins to your Remote account

You can make people at your company admins and assign them different roles and permissions. This allows the users to view and/or take certain actions on behalf of the company.

One common example is adding people managers and assigning direct reports (i.e. employees that report to them). This helps you stay organized and ensures requests like time off and expense reimbursements are going to the right people for approval.

     NB: This currently supports customers using password authorization. Support for customers using single sign-on will be coming soon.

Alternative way to assign a manager to an employee

From the employee’s profile, go to the Job tab and, next to Manager, click Edit. Type in the name of the Manager you want to assign to the employee. If the manager isn’t already an admin, answer some simple questions and we’ll send an email inviting them to become one.
