Deputy Premium accounts come preconfigured with a standard set of access permissions.
The role of System Administrator is assigned to the user who has ultimate control over the configuration of the organisation and is sometimes the user who sets the organisation up.
With Payroll, another level of access has been added called Payroll Administrator.
The Payroll Administrator role in an account is provided many of the same permissions as the System Administrator, except for access to billing and subscriptions or adding new business entities in Deputy.
The table below summarises some permission differences between a System Administrator and a Payroll Administrator.
