Managing access to job-specific information, applications, and physical locations

Abstract

A method and storage medium for managing access to job-specific information, applications, and physical locations are provided. The method includes creating an employee record for a new employee. The employee record includes an employee ID, employee personal data, a job code, and administrative data. The method also includes transmitting a portion of the personal data to an employee directory database, and transmitting a notification to one or both of a manager and a system administrator. The method further includes enabling access to job-specific software applications, and establishing a password account for the employee.
