Workgroup Manager: Adding admins as members to restore permissions

 This article explains how workgroup admins can restore member-level permissions by adding themselves (and other affected admins) as members in Workgroup Manager, following a change introduced by the Sequoia HR system update.  
﻿
Overview & BackgroundIn Workgroup Manager, admin and member are separate roles. Admins can add and remove members. However, following a recent modification tied to the Sequoia update, being an admin of a workgroup no longer automatically grants the permissions that members receive. Where that's the case, an admin can resolve the issue by explicitly adding the affected admins as members.
Before you start
You must have admin rights on the workgroup you intend to modify.
