Basic and Contact Information in Profiles

Every profile in your account contains essential details that help keep records up to date and ensure your team's contact information is correct. The Basic and Contact Information sections in the profile allow you to manage profile details such as role, time zone, username, and contact details, while also securely storing sensitive data. Supervisors can be configured with permissions to view and/or edit employees. Their responsibility can also be limited to certain departments, thereby limiting which employee profiles they can access.
