Timesheet Security Access

Your system administrator assigns security access rights to each Timesheet user. You are assigned to one of four security access levels: Staff, Group, Company, or System. Your access level determines what processing options are available to you.

Access rights are defined on the Time and Expense tabs of each employee record in the Employees Info Center.
