Step-by-Step Guides
A number of step by step guides have been drafted to guide managers through some of the main transactions that require to be completed by eESS:
Proxy Users
In line with local arrangements there may be requirements to setup Proxy Users across NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde (NHSGGC) for Manager Self Service.
A proxy user is someone who will transact self-service functions on behalf of:
- a line manager; or
- peer employees
- via self-service-based access.
Proxy for Manager Self Service must be specifically requested to and setup from the eESS Support Team. This Guidance Note outlines the process for doing this and details the governance rules associated with Proxy Users: Proxy User Brief
