Admins (super users) have access to everything in bob and unfortunately, it's not possible to restrict their access at the moment.
Our Product Team is aware of this limitation and currently working on the ability to have an admin custom group that will be limited to a specific set of data. For example, this custom admin will be open to all EEs, but without any access to Payroll data. However, we do not have an exact ETA on this yet. Hopefully, this will be available in the near future. 🤞️
In the meantime, the only way is to create a custom permission group and restrict access to salary/compensation information but give access to everything else on the employee profiles.
There are still certain features that are only available for Admins (e.g. Sandbox testing, "Login as" feature, "Roles & Permissions" settings, etc.).
Here's the link to our help guide on custom permission:
