User Permissions
Use this guide when creating or updating user permissions in Settings > Security.
Permissions are applied per site and are additive, so each enabled option expands what a user can view or do.
Security permissions grid
Capture the Security permissions grid with key permission columns visible, including access, roster, timesheet, staff, and reporting controls.
Core access permissions
These permissions control general access:
- Allow: Enables login access to the site for the user account.
- Admin: Grants broad administrative rights across the site.
- HR: Grants Wageloch HR module access (where enabled).
- Payroll: Grants Wageloch Payroll module access (where enabled).
- See Fin.: Allows visibility of financial values such as rates, budgets, and costs.
- See Admin: Controls access to selected admin-facing financial information.
Roster and timesheet permissions
These permissions control scheduling and day-finalisation:
- Modify Rosters: Create, edit, and delete roster entries.
- Unfinalise Rosters: Re-open locked/finalised rosters where enabled.
- Submit Timesheets: Submit timesheets for processing or payroll export.
- Complete End of Day: Finalise timesheet days.
- Modify End of Day: Edit shifts in timesheet completion views.
- Review Confirmed Days: Unfinalise confirmed days when corrections are required.
INFO
For non-admin users who need timesheet finalisation access, enable Complete End of Day, Modify End of Day, and Review Confirmed Days together.
Staff, settings, and operational permissions
Common operational permissions include:
- Modify Staff List: View and manage staff records.
- Modify Clock: Add missing clock activity where allowed.
- Access Roster Settings: Change roster publishing, print, and behaviour settings.
- Access Timesheet Settings: Change timesheet setup and processing settings.
- Access Time Kiosk Settings: Manage kiosk configuration and registrations.
- Access Leave: Approve, decline, and manage leave requests and approvals.
- Assign Departments: Configure department assignments.
- Access Reports: Use reporting tools; financial visibility depends on See Fin..
- Show Sales: View tracked sales or gross profit values.
Cross-site and department-limited controls
For multi-site organisations, you may also see cross-site permissions such as roster or availability checks.
If a user should only manage selected teams, pair these permissions with department restrictions in Users and Security.
Permission setup checklist
Use this quick checklist before saving user access changes:
- Confirm whether the user should be non-admin, admin, or super user.
- Enable only the minimum permissions needed for the role.
- Validate whether financial visibility is required.
- If needed, apply department restrictions.
- Save changes and ask the user to sign out/in.
