Q: Why do I see “Employee Update Error: You don’t have Employee Update Permission to perform this action” when trying to save changes?

A: This error occurs because your current user account has not been granted the specific administrative rights required to modify employee profiles. To fix it:

  • Contact your System Administrator: Request that your account be updated with the "Employee Update" permission in the system's role-based access control settings.

  • Verify your Permission Group: Ensure you are assigned to the correct user group that has authority over the specific department or employee data you are trying to edit.

  • Check for Dashboard Restrictions: If permissions were recently updated, refresh your browser or log out and log back in to ensure the new settings are active.
