Setting up System Roles

Types of Users (Roles)

After setting up your new site, you will need to establish system roles. By default, all users are assigned the employee role and the creator of the site is assigned the Admin role.  Hour Timesheet consists of 4 types of users:

Employees – System role allowing users access to individual timesheet entry.
