Question:

Which permission(s) do I need to use for an employee to only clock in and clock out and not manually enter their time at the end of the day?

Answer:

To ensure your employees can only Check in/Out, and prevent them from making manual time entries, their permissions will need to be limited to "Time Entries (self)"

To set these permissions, follow the instructions below:

  1. Open the Team module from your main dashboard

    1. If updating individuals' permissions: Under the Users tab, locate the user's permissions you want to update and open their profile

      1. Under the Permissions tab of their profile, look for the "Time entries (self)" permissions options and ensure that the employee has the "View" and "Create" permissions This will allow them to see their own time entries and create new entries.

    2. If updating multiple users' permissions: Open the Permissions tab and locate the permissions template you wish to update

      1. Under the Permissions tab of their profile, look for the "Time entries (self)" permissions options and ensure that the employee has the "View" and "Create" permissions This will allow them to see their own time entries and create new entries.

  2. Make sure that the employee(s) does not have "Edit" or "Manage" permissions for time entries (self) to prevent them from manually editing their time entries.
