User Administration#
User#
There are mainly three different kind of users who can access the application. Named User (Admin is the default named user), Employee User (employee who has subordinates) and Manager User (employee who has no subordinates ).
Named User
- A Named User is an user who can access not just his data but data of other employees. The
employees whose data he can access is called as a Shortlist of employees.
- A Named User needs to be created specifically by the Administrator. This can be done through the Users screen.
- Administrator is a pre-configured user who is already available.
Employee User
- An Employee User is an user who can access only his data. He cannot access any other employee's data.
- An Employee User is created as soon as you add an employee
- The Employee Number of the employee is always the Login Id of the employee
Manager User
- A Manager User is a person who can access his data and data of his team members.
- Team Members are those employees who report to this employee
- A Manager User is also an Employee User. Along with being an Employee User he has additional access.
- A Manager User will login using his Employee Number. Because he has additional access, he will find additional tabs called My Team Info in his screen. He will use this to access data of his team members.
User Roles#
All the users are restricted in terms of accessing data by a concept called role. Access control is implemented on the concept of Roles. A role is a set of privileges, i.e, what the user, who is given this role, can do in the application. Any number of users can be created and assigned specific roles as have been identified and configured.
- A user can be associated with one or more Roles.
- Some Roles are created by default - These are Admin, Employee and Manager
- The Admin Role is always associated with an user called Admin. This is normally the super-user of the application.
- The Employee Role is automatically assigned to all employees who are added into the application. This also called as the Default Role.
- The Manager Role is automatically assigned to all employees who have subordinates reporting to them.
