Employee reader group assignments

The Emp_Reader_Group field adds or removes a reader group assignment for an employee. Reader groups are used by the system to grant employees access to a set of clock readers that have been deployed within the organization.

To use this feature, you must enter all the valid reader group names separated by a ~ for a specific employee. The application attempts to resolve each of these names to a reader group ID. If one of the reader group names is not found, a "Reader Group Not Found" exception is triggered.

The application is responsible for managing any changes to the employee reader group assignments. When the reader group column is specified, the column includes all of the valid reader groups. If an existing reader group assignment is not present in the import column, the system removes the assignment for that user.

An employee is not assigned a reader group if the reader group name is not provided in the CSV file.

A new reader group assignment is created while importing a new employee including the employee's reader group, or if no prior reader group assignment exists for an existing employee.

The input value has this format:

reader group 1~reader group 2~reader group 3
