Employee Privileges

Employee Privileges

Privileges control what you are able to do within the system.


Privileges are split into Employee Privileges and Back Office




Employee Privileges control access to the front end

Back Office control access to the back office


Back Office privileges are controlled with a simple Yes or No to determine if you have access or not


Employee Privileges can be set to either Yes No or Job Title


It would be very time consuming and difficult to maintain if you had to enter a yes or no for every setting for every employee. Because of this we have Jobs. You create a Job, assign privileges to it and then assign that job to an employee.  Provided the employee privileges are all set to “Job Title” then when the employee clocks in and chooses that Job then they will have the access set up within that job code.


You are able to override the job privileges by explicitly setting the privilege to Yes or No


Yes – Explicitly set to yes for the employee

No – Explicitly set to No for the employee

Job Title – The Job title they use to log in is what will control if they have access


Employee Privileges can be managed from the Employee Manager.
Employee Manager is located in the Back Office > Employees > Employee Management
