## Permission behavior

- **Administrator** access allows full time clock control, including menu access, biometric enrollment, proximity card setup, PIN assignment, and device configuration.
- **Employee** access allows clock in and clock out using configured authentication methods.
- Only one active **Everyone** rule can exist at a time. Creating a new Everyone rule automatically ends the previous one.
- **Time Clock Permissions** control which devices users can access. **Reporting Hours** determines whether users are allowed to clock in or out.
