The Admin Control section allows organizations to manage administrative access, define primary administrative contacts, and control how SimplyMerit communicates with managers and employees during the compensation cycle.
Admin Control can be accessed at:
Configuration → Admin Control
Admin Users
The Admin Users table lists all users who currently have administrative access within SimplyMerit.
Each row includes:
Name
Email
Primary Admin (toggle)
Receives Emails (toggle)
Remove Admin Access (trash icon)
Primary Admin
The Primary Admin toggle designates the main administrative contact for the organization.
Only one Primary Admin can be selected at a time
The Primary Admin is used as the default contact for system-generated communications unless overridden elsewhere
This role is typically assigned to the lead HR administrator or compensation owner.
Receives Emails
The Receives Emails toggle determines whether an admin will receive system notifications, including:
Status updates
Administrative alerts
Admins with this toggle disabled will retain access to the platform but will not receive email notifications.
Removing Admin Access
Admins can be removed using the trash icon at the end of the row.
Removing admin access does not delete the employee
The user will revert to their standard role (if applicable)
Assign Admin or Create New Admin
Administrators can assign admin access to an existing employee by entering their Employee ID.
If the employee already exists, admin access is applied immediately
If the employee does not exist, the system will prompt for additional details to create the employee record
This provides a controlled way to expand administrative access without duplicating users.
Creating a new employee as an admin:
HR Admin Contact Details
The HR Admin Contact Details section controls which name and email address appear in system communications.
HR Contact in Emails
This contact is used in:
Invitation emails
System-generated emails sent to managers and employees
By default, SimplyMerit will display either:
The Primary Admin, or
The contact specified in this section
Fields include:
Email Contact Name
Email Contact Address
HR Contact on Manager Pages
This contact is used when managers click Contact Support from within the application.
Clicking the link automatically opens an email to the designated contact
This ensures managers reach the correct internal HR or compensation team
Fields include:
Site Contact Name
Site Contact Address
Save Changes
Each Admin Control section includes a Save Changes button.
Changes are not applied until saved
Updates take effect immediately once saved
Key Notes
Only one Primary Admin can exist at a time
Email visibility and platform access are controlled independently
Contact details can differ between email communications and in-app support links
This section governs communication behavior but does not affect approval workflows
