Users & Roles
Zoho Payroll allows you to add users so that multiple members of your organization can access Zoho Payroll and help you run your payroll activities. You can also create and assign roles to each user so that they have access only to the modules that they are to handle. Since Zoho Payroll is a cloud-based application, multiple users can work on it simultaneously from any location.
