Changing a User's Permission Level

This guide explains how to change a user's permission level in the system - what the employee can do and see. For example, if an employee currently cannot edit the Detailed Attendance report and you want to allow it, you change their permission level.

  1. Click "Users".
  2. Click the employee whose permission you want to change.
  3. Click the permissions dropdown menu.
  4. Select the permission level you want to move the user to.

The default permission levels are:

  • Employee - an employee without edit permissions.
  • Employee Editor - an employee with edit permissions.
  • Group Manager - a group manager (see the related guide on setting up a group manager).
  • Administrator - system administrator.
  1. Click Save.

Note: a system administrator cannot change their own permission level while logged in as themselves; if needed, this must be done from another administrator's account.
