Account Types

There are 3 different type of log in accounts:

1. A log in account for an employee to view their time and attendance information. Also know as (Employee Portal)
2. A log in account for an employee who also can have administrative rights. (Employee Portal with administrative privileges)
3. A log in account for an administrator, who doesn’t necessarily need to be an employee or user added in the system. (System Administrator will full or restricted privileges)

How to create an account that allows an employee to view their time and attendance information. (Employee Portal)

An employee portal account will allow the employee log in to the system with restricted access to view and monitor his time card, schedules and request paid time off. He will not be able to make any changes or modifications to his time card information.
