In many companies, multiple employees work simultaneously with business and financial data.

Nevertheless, access rights are often still managed in an unstructured way:

  • shared logins
  • missing role concepts
  • manual approvals
  • unclear responsibilities

This creates security risks and limited transparency.

Why Modern User Management Matters

Structured user management provides:

  • clear responsibilities
  • controlled access
  • improved security
  • traceable changes
  • more efficient workflows

The better roles and permissions are organized, the more secure and transparent business operations become.

The Typical Challenges

Many businesses regularly face situations such as:

  • employees seeing too much data
  • shared user accounts
  • missing approval structures
  • unclear responsibilities
  • manually assigned permissions
  • limited visibility over user access rights

As the number of employees grows, complexity increases significantly.

The Saldio Approach

Saldio connects:

  • users
  • roles
  • permissions
  • approvals
  • workflows
  • accounting

within one centralized system.

This keeps access rights and responsibilities fully traceable.

1. Centralized User Management

Users can directly be managed inside Saldio.

Examples include:

  • employees
  • accounting staff
  • project managers
  • external accountants
  • administrators

This keeps user administration centralized and organized.

2. Define Roles

Companies can define roles.

Examples:

  • accounting
  • sales
  • project management
  • administration
  • management

This simplifies permission management.

3. Control Access Rights

Permissions can individually be assigned.

Examples:

  • read only
  • edit
  • approve
  • execute payments
  • create accounting entries
  • manage master data

This protects sensitive information.

4. Integration with Workflows

User permissions remain directly connected to:

  • approvals
  • payments
  • invoices
  • projects
  • accounting

This creates structured workflows and clear responsibilities.

5. Transparency and Traceability

Saldio documents:

  • user activities
  • changes
  • approvals
  • role changes
  • workflow steps

This significantly improves traceability.

Why Small Businesses Benefit the Most

Small businesses often:

  • operate with small teams
  • assign permissions informally
  • lack centralized security processes

Structured user management significantly improves security and visibility.

Modern User Management for Swiss SMEs

Modern business software should centrally manage:
