    I understand that when an employee submits a timesheet for approval, the email recipient receives a link to that employee’s sheet. In experimenting with different User roles, I find that the roles of HR Manager and Accounting Manager do not apparently give someone signing in to the site with those roles, any access to Dynamic Time. Is the only way for someone to have access to ALL the timesheets is for that person to have the role of Administrator? Basically, client’s “HR” person doesn’t want to see anything else about the site except for her employees’ timesheets, when she logs on to the site. So, what role to assign to her?

    Hello,

    I’m happy to help you with roles for Dynamic Time. The roles that you mention “HR Manager and Accounting Manager” are not native roles in WordPress, they may have been customized for your organization.

    Your existing roles can be edited, or a new role can be added. The capability to be added to a role will be the “edit_users” permission, and this can be done with a plugin named “User Role Editor”. Adding the “edit_users” permission to any role, along with WP admin dashboard access, will allow a supervisor to see all the users from the plugin’s admin page.

    Alternatively, any supervisor can see their employees timesheet without the “edit_users” permission, they just won’t be able to list all their employees from the admin page. The link sent to the supervisor when a timecard is submitted will allow the supervisor (with or without edit_user permissions) to view and approve the timecard.
