Assign SwissSalary profiles
SwissSalary ships three profiles that control the Role Center and the visible entry points. System or payroll administration assigns the matching profile before someone works productively in SwissSalary—separately from permission sets. Use this when you create users, when roles change, and when managers should see only their organizational unit.
Prerequisites
- The user exists in Business Central.
- The required permission sets are assigned. The profile doesn't replace permissions.
- For Manager Self Service, departments and department managers are set up. For more information, see Set up departments and department managers.
Shipped profiles
| Profile | Audience | Role Center | Short description |
|---|---|---|---|
| SwissSalary | Payroll specialists and payroll administration | SwissSalary Role Center Modern Client | Full payroll Role Center (enabled and promoted). |
| SwissSalary Budget | Budget planning | SwissSalary Budget Role Center | Budget Role Center (enabled, not promoted). |
| SwissSalary Manager Self Service | Department managers | The same payroll Role Center as SwissSalary, with payroll, setup, budget, ELM, TapBoard, and General Reports entry points hidden | Reduced manager view (enabled and promoted). |
Hinweis
SwissSalary Budget isn't promoted. You still assign it in My Settings; it is only missing from the promoted selection list.
Which profile to assign to whom
- Assign SwissSalary to payroll specialists and payroll administration.
- Assign SwissSalary Budget to people who only budget.
- Assign SwissSalary Manager Self Service to department managers—together with the SwS MSS permission set.
- Don't assign the same profile to every user by default. Profile and permission set serve different purposes.
SwissSalary doesn't ship the profile and permission set as a ready-made installation package. You combine both in user administration.
Assign a profile in My Settings
SwissSalary has no separate assignment interface. You assign profiles in Business Central.
- Open My Settings.
- Under Role, choose the SwissSalary, SwissSalary Budget, or SwissSalary Manager Self Service profile.
- Confirm the selection.
Then assign the SwS MSS permission set to managers and check User Setup SwissSalary.
Good to know
- You change only the profile and leave the permission sets unchanged—pages don't open or they show too many payroll processes.
- You treat SwissSalary Manager Self Service as a full payroll profile—payroll run, setup, budget, ELM, TapBoard, and General Reports are hidden.
- You look for SwissSalary Budget in the promoted list—the profile is assignable but not promoted.
- You give department managers the SwissSalary profile—they see payroll entry points outside their management process.
