Advanced Employee Permissions and Saved Searches

Based on the employee permissions assigned to the role, users see different results when viewing the same employee saved search. Some columns in the search results are hidden, depending on what the role has access to. When the filter criteria of a saved search uses a field unavailable to the employee permissions assigned to the role, the filter is not applied.

The following examples outline what information is exposed to a role when a saved search is run using the same filter criteria. The examples use different Advanced Employee Permissions.

Example 1 – Saved Search Results with Employee Public Permission
