Single Sign-on from Sage HRMS to Sage ESS

Did you know that Sage HRMS now supports single sign-on from the employee’s HR record directly to the employee’s self-service record in Sage Employee Self Service? This allows you to perform tasks such as training employees how to use Sage ESS, acting on the employee’s behalf to update personal information, or testing the self-service program before you deploy it to your employees.

Accessing the employee specific single sign-on

After you install this upgrade and set up the single sign-on service, you can access the employee-specific single sign-on to the employee’s Sage ESS record from:

Employees > View/Edit Employee >

Select an employee record and click the Self Service link under the employee’s name.

Each Sage HRMS user must have security access to specific employees in order to view Sage ESS accounts linked from the employee records.

Using single sign-on

To use the single sign-on features, you must first:

• Generate a key in Sage ESS System Maintenance
• As MASTER, set the User Security to Allow Single Sign-on to ESS for the user
• Then log in to Sage ESS with your own user login

Only after completing these three things can you view the Self Service account for the employees for which you have access. 

*Note: The MASTER user automatically has access to all new functionality after the upgrade, and you must log in as MASTER into Sage HRMS first to change any other user security settings.

Accessing your own Sage ESS account

You can log in to your own Sage ESS account using System Login from Sage HRMS > Connected Services (left navigation) > Employee Self Service. The Backup and Restore function is now accessible from the Connected Services menu in Sage HRMS.
