Question

Which permission(s) do I need to use for an employee to only clock in and clock out and not manually enter their time at the end of the day?

If you want to limit an employee's time entry permissions to only allow them to clock in and clock out without manually entering their time at the end of the day, you can follow the steps below.

Step 1: Adjust Time Entry Permissions To begin, you need to modify the employee's permission settings to restrict their time entry capabilities. Here's what you should do:

  1. From the dashboard, go to "Team," located in the sidebar.

  2. Locate the employee whose permissions you want to adjust, and select their name to open their profile. Then another page will appear, click on the "Permissions" tab.

  3. Look for the "Time entries (self)" permissions options and ensure that the employee has the "View" and "Create" permissions This will allow them to see their own time entries and create new entries.

  4. Make sure that the employee does not have "Edit" or "Manage" permissions for time entries (self) to prevent them from manually editing their time entries.
