How to Manage Security Groups

Security Groups allow or disallow access (Privileges) to specific features. These instructions show you how to create Security Groups based on the original Groups setup. If more groups are needed, please contact us.

How to Add a Security Group

  1. To add a new Security Group, click Add and enter the security group name in the Name field. We've named our new security group Lead for this example.
  2. Enter the new category in the Name field. Under Privileges, click and select the applicable Privileges on the right-hand side.
  3. Click under Groups to add a location to this new security group.
  4. Select the applicable Location and click Ok > Save.
Important❗ 

Groups > Locations sets conditions and restricts the scope of privileges to only the selected locations. We strongly recommend that you choose at least one location. Otherwise, users will have access to everyone in the company. You can go to How to Add Locations for instructions.

How to Edit a Security Group

  1. Select Time and Attendance or HR Data Management from the Product Menu.  
  2. Click System Security > Security Groups.
    The default (out-of-the-box) Security Groups are Employee, Manager, and Supervisor, which have default Privileges (access) pre-attached to them. 
  3. If you wish to change the Privileges of an existing security group (We've selected Employee for this example.), click the security group you want to change, click Edit, and make the changes.
  4. Click  under Groups to add a location.
  5. Click Ok > Save.

You're done! 🙂
