FAQs
Does complete anonymization apply to everyone or can I exclude some people?
At the moment, complete anonymization applies to every member. A workaround is to assign all users that you want to be a non-financial user so that their visibility is limited.
If employee names in payroll data are completely anonymized, can an engineering manager still allocate R&D% to employees without knowing who the employees are?
Yes, as long as the enginnering manager’s role is set to “non-financial” they can still see the names of the employees without the financial data (ex. wage).
