Manage Users

Users are defined as personnel entitled to access the program. When the program is first initiated, the only user is the site administrator. By the word "Site", we are referring to the web site and not a project site.

Users entered are displayed in alphabetical order by last name.
Access Levels
There are six possible access levels provided by the program. They have been arbitrarily named Administrator, Payroll Processor, Project Manager, Superintendent, Foreman and Read Only. The privileges of each level are defined in the Security Options part of the Admin Functions. For the purposes of this manual, it is assumed an Administrator is logged in, with default access levels enabled unless otherwise noted.
Deleting users
Any user can be deleted if no timesheets have been entered them. If they have entered timesheets, they can be made inactive only. To delete a user, click on the garbage can icon to the right of the users name. The site administrator cannot be deleted.
