Defining Time Track Roles

Time Track module in the Factory Track application comprises of four roles. The roles defined in the Time Track module are user, supervisor, administrator and generic.

Each role has its own access and privilege characteristic. User is the most restrictive, followed by TTHomepage, followed by Supervisor with Administrator being the least restrictive. The roles are designed to perform the following functions:

  • User: This role is assigned to the employees. The primary function is to execute transactions. This role only collects hours. The hours cannot be modified or processed. The employee assigned to this role is not given access to forms using generic security and cannot be given control of the Work Groups. The appropriate Group Authorizations for this user are FT-Base and FT-Employee.
  • Generic User: This user type is designed to allow multiple employees to access the attendance and the labor transactions without having to log in or log out of the transactions. The appropriate Group Authorizations for this user are FT-Base and FT-Console.
  • Supervisor: This role is used by the supervisor to prepare employee hours for processing and to process the hours. Supervisors may execute transactions for themselves or for their employees, enter absences hours, edit hours for their employees and process hours to create payroll records. This role cannot save configuration forms or create new employee records. The appropriate Group Authorizations for this user are FT-Base and FT-Supervisor.
  • Administrator: This role used by the administrator to set up the application. Administrators have read, write and delete access on every form in the application. This role creates and modifies Shift records, Employee Type records, Employee records and all other configuration forms. The appropriate Group Authorization for this user is FT-System Administrator.
