# Users & Roles

* * *

Zoho Payroll allows you to add users so that multiple members of your organisation can access Zoho Payroll and help you run your payroll activities. You can also create and assign roles to each user so that they have access only to the modules that they are to handle. Since Zoho Payroll is a cloud-based application, multiple users can work on it simultaneously from any location.

* * *

## Users

### Add User

You can add a new user to your Zoho Payroll organisation by inviting them.

*   Navigate to **Settings > Users & Roles**.
*   Click **Invite User** on the top right corner of the screen.
*   Enter the **Name**, **Email** and **Role** of the user.
*   Click **Invite**.

## Super Admin

The Super Admin is a special privilege that gives one admin exclusive rights to set up and manage your organisation across all Zoho Finance applications. Only one admin can be the Super Admin at a time, and the role applies across Zoho Payroll, Zoho Books, Zoho Expense, and all other Zoho Finance apps in your organisation.

### Assign a Super Admin

When no Super Admin has been assigned to your organisation, a banner appears at the top of the _Users_ page. You can assign a Super Admin from this banner.

*   Navigate to **Settings > Users & Roles**.
*   Click **Assign Super Admin** in the banner.
*   Select an eligible admin from the **Super Admin** dropdown.
*   Click **Make Super Admin**.

The selected admin will be marked as the Super Admin, and a **Super Admin** badge will appear next to their name on the _Users_ page.

**Note:** After you assign a Super Admin, other admins in the organisation can reassign or revoke this selection within 7 days. After the 7-day period, only the current Super Admin can transfer the privilege to another admin.

#### Reassign or Revoke Super Admin Privilege

After a Super Admin is assigned, other admins in the organisation will see a notification the next time they visit the _Users_ page during the 7-day grace period. The options available in this notification depend on the admin’s eligibility.

Admins who are active across all Zoho Finance applications in the organisation will see the option to reassign the privilege to a different eligible admin.

Admins who are not eligible to be a Super Admin will see the option to revoke the privilege entirely.

### Change the Super Admin

You can transfer the Super Admin privilege to a different admin at any time.

*   Navigate to **Settings > Users & Roles**.
*   Click the **More** icon next to the admin you want to make the new Super Admin.
*   Select **Mark As Super Admin**.
*   Click **Make Super Admin** in the confirmation pop-up.

The previous Super Admin will lose the privilege, and the newly selected admin will become the Super Admin across all Zoho Finance applications.

## Roles
