Proxy Permissions (ESS)

Within ESS there is an ability to assign proxy permissions to users, enabling the user to temporarily act on behalf of another manager. This functionality will give the proxy the ability to approve/decline leave requests for any direct reportee of the manager, and approve timesheets. The proxy user will not be able to see any personal details of these reportees.

There can only be one active proxy relationship per manager at one time i.e. one person can act as a proxy for multiple managers simultaneously, but each manager can only have one active proxy.

To enable a Proxy User, start by Logging in to ESS > Company Structure > Proxy Details.

If you do not see the Proxy Details page, contact the DataPay Support Team and we can enable this module for you.
Select the New Proxy Assignment button.

Select the Manager, Proxy and the date range that they will be acting as a proxy for (as this is a temporary assignment), then click Assign to save the changes.
Once the end date passes, the proxy assignment will automatically expire.
