What is a TracManager User? *

TracManager users are authorized users of the TracManager software. TracManager Users require a unique username and password in order to log into TracManager. Each TracManager User is assigned access privileges which determine which menus the user has access to, as well as whether the user may delete or modify certain information.

TracManager User Types *

TracManager supports five user types:

Administrator: This is the highest user account and has all access to all areas of the software. When the Administrator logs into TracManager the Administrate menu appears on the Windows menu bar. No other user type has access to the Administrate menu.

Executive: The Executive user type allows the user all access to the Employee lists. This is an ideal user type for a user who needs to have access to all employees for payroll or HR purposes. All access rights are subject to the user rights settings on each module Tab.

Manager: The Manager user type allows the user to view Employees and Employee timesheets for all employees who are assigned to the manager. The user also has access to employees who report to a supervisor who reports to the manager. All access rights are subject to the user rights settings on the Tabs.

Supervisor: The Supervisor user type allows the user to view Employees and Employee timesheets for all employees who are assigned to the supervisor.  All access rights are subject to the user rights settings on the Tabs.

Staff: The staff user type is intended for users who will not review employee records or employee timesheets. All access rights are subject to the user rights settings on the Tabs.
