Mandatory fields while addingFirst name, Last names, Employee ID, Email Address**Employee ID and First name

In short, Users
– These are employees who will have an email address and password and will be able to log in to their account. They can access their self-service and perform actions such as applying for leave, submitting timesheets, submitting self-appraisals, etc. First name, last name, employee ID, and email address are mandatory fields for adding a user.
Employee Profiles – These are employees who cannot log in to their account. These employees' details are maintained by the organization in the account. Security staff and contract workers can be examples of such employees. Since these employees cannot log in to their account, based on set permissions, their manager or the admins can apply leave or submit timesheets for them. Employee ID and first name alone are mandatory fields for adding an Employee Profile/ Non-User.
