Getting Started

Assign Roles and Control Access with Ease

Define responsibilities, configure permissions, and keep your organization running securely — all from one place.

Define Roles

Identify the roles you need — such as Admin, HR, or Supervisor — based on how your organization operates. Roles set the foundation for every access decision.

Assign Roles to Employees

Assign each employee a role during onboarding or update it anytime from the admin panel. Role changes take effect immediately.

Configure Permissions

Control what each role can access — attendance data, employee records, shift management, or system settings. Granular controls let you tailor access precisely.

Manage Access Over Time

As employees change roles or responsibilities, update their permissions easily without affecting the rest of the system.

Monitor and Support

Admins can oversee all user access, manage invitations, and even impersonate users for troubleshooting when needed.

Permissions Matrix

What Each Role Can Do

A clear overview of access levels so you can configure the right permissions for every team member.

  • Accounts

    Control who can create, edit, and deactivate user accounts across the organization.

  • Payroll

    Grant access to payroll runs, pay profiles, and pay groups independently of one another.

  • People

    Decide who can view and manage employee records, departments, and reporting lines.

  • Insights

    Limit reporting and analytics to the roles that need visibility across teams.

The Timestat “Set Permissions” screen, showing collapsible permission groups for Accounts, Payroll, People and Insights. The Payroll group is expanded into three columns — Payroll Run, Pay Profiles and Pay Groups — each listing individual activities with a toggle to grant or revoke them for the role being edited.
Permissions are grouped by area and toggled individually for each role.
