Sage HRMS (Version 10.7037) requiring local admin rights

I can't be the only one who sees the applications need to run with local administrator credentials, a complete security flaw. We open the doors, for attackers to get personal employee information, and we make it super easy for our employees to help those attackers. I am just saying that I have been through support and have been directed here. To me it is like Sage is saying "big security hole, but not enough people realize it so until they do we are not going to do anything about it".

My apologize for my crudeness here, but this issue and the support I received regarding the matter has me looking at other software packages. I suggest to the same for you all, unless you can actually sleep consciously regarding the amount of headache you would cause for someone if their personal information was breached do to your negligence.

  • We are very sorry for your frustration.  We hope this reply helps clarify the issues you’ve faced.  We will also contact you individually to make sure we’ve answered all of your concerns. 

    When Sage HRMS is installed on a network pursuant to our documentation, administrative privileges are only necessary for installing or upgrading the software.  Once the installation or upgrade is complete, non-administrative privileges can be used to run the software (e.g., from a user’s workstation).  Based on our investigation, we believe the issue you have encountered is due to your configuration of Sage HRMS, your network, or both, as the software does not require a user to have administrative privileges to run the already-installed or upgraded software.  We will contact you individually in an effort to help identify any issues with your configuration.
