User Roles About
User RolesUser Roles provide precise control over every aspect of TimeScope user involvement. User Roles control access to menu options, data items, and reports. Employees are assigned user roles on the security tab of the employee form. The set of available user roles is maintained by the administrator via the Properties menu command. Defaults are provided with TimeScope to suit most implementations. The administrator can modify existing user roles or create new roles to accommodate specific requirements for user involvement.
User Roles provide access control over the following areas:
Menu Access. Menu commands, at any level of the menu hierarchy from the sidebar menu down to individual menubar commands, can be enabled or disabled.
Data Access. Access to specific data items in the database can be controlled. Thus, users can be prevented from changing or even viewing particular items, both on-screen and when reporting.
Report Folder Access. The administrator can control which folders of reports are available with each user role. Access to predefined and user-created report folders can be controlled, as well as import and export folders.
