Users

The Users button gives administrators quick and easy access to all of the users in Time Keeper.  You can easily make a user inactive–denying that user access to the program–or change a user's role–superuser, restricted user and so on.

1. Click the Users button.
   
   
2. Once you click the Users button, you will see the following window.
   
   
3. From this window, you can easily make a user inactive by checking the box next to their name.  Once you have done this, click Apply and then Ok.  Once a user is inactive, they will be unable to log in or access the system until they are made active by removing the check next to their name.  
   
   

4. You can also change a user's role from this window, too. 

    

   Be sure that the roles you assign are correct before you apply changes and click Ok.

5. Double click on the user's role you wish to modify.  You will see a menu appear with all of the roles listed.  By default, the current role will be highlighted.  

   
   

6. To change the selected user's role, simply select the new role.  The menu will vanish and you should see the newly selected role in the employee's role slot.  Click Apply and Ok to save changes.  To leave this screen without saving any changes, click Cancel.

7. The Add button allows you to easily add new users who have first been established in AdminConsole by clicking the Add button and then selecting a user from the list.
   
   

   

Roles Button

The Roles Button allows you to easily edit and add user roles as needed.

1. Click on the Roles Button.
   
    
2. Once you click the Roles button, you will see the following window.
   
    
3. Right clicking on a Role will allow you to delete it.
   
   
4. Click in the box to enable editing of the Role's name.

Permissions Button

The Permissions button allows you to easily assign permissions to various employee roles.  In other words, you are able to limit what information and abilities each of your employee roles are able to access.  This keeps employees out of areas in which they do not belong.

1. Click the Permissions button.
   
    
2. Once you click this button, the following window will appear. 
   
   

3. From this window, you will be able to select what tasks will be available to what employee roles.  For example, the roles Accounting, Normal User and Supervisor are all able to access Employee Maintenance, while a Restricted User is not.  Simply check, or uncheck, the permissions you wish to enable, or disable, for each role.
   
   

    

   Be very careful assigning permissions.  You do not want everyone to have access to all aspects of your data.
