Access Levels for Time Doctor Users

 

TL;DR: 

Understand what each user access level in Time Doctor—Regular User, Manager, Administrator, and Owner—can and cannot do within the platform. Only Owners and Administrators can change user access levels under Settings / Manage Users.

 

This article outlines the permissions and capabilities associated with each user access level in the Time Doctor web dashboard.

    • View, download, or delete their own screenshots

    • Manually edit their work time

    • Report absences and late arrivals

    • Manage most of their own integrations

Owners can:

    • Perform all Administrator, Manager, and Regular User actions

    • Cancel or delete the Time Doctor account

    • Access and update billing information

    • Modify payment methods
