Securing employee files in Employee Document Management

Employee Document Management is an out-of-the-box feature for filing, organizing, retaining or deleting employee documents while remaining compliant. All documents that are related to an employee who accesses services from BMC Helix Business Workflows are maintained in an employee file. The employee file is accessible to users from the Employ Document Management console.

Roles and permissions

The following table lists the functional roles, permissions, and actions that users can take on employee files:

Functional Role	Permissions	Actions	Assigned by default to
Employee Document User	View	View employee documents in cases, tasks, and employee file. Move the documents that are attached in a case or task to the employee file while resolving a case. Upload files to the employee file directly from the local disk or files that are automatically generated, such as employee verification letter to the employee file.	Case agent, Case manager
Employee Document User	Write	Edit document attributes based on the access of a document category. Access the Employee Document Management console and view employee profiles. If the user also has the Person Activity Read permission, the user can view document related activities.	No
Employee Document Config	View Write	Define and change document category Define retention policy Define document attributes View audit history of documents	No

An administrator can assign the Employee Document User and Employee Document Config roles to users who can then view and work on employee files. Learn how to assign roles to users in Setting-up-roles-and-permissions.
