Setting up protection groups and their access rights
Once applicable staff are entered in the staff list, create protection groups and assign staff to these groups. These steps should be performed before enforcing protection on any Time file. If these steps are not followed and security is enforced, when a user attempts to access the file, Time informs them that they are not in the current task and access is denied.
You can accomplish this by creating protection groups with defined access rights to areas of the program. Users are then assigned to the protection groups and are allocated work according to their role in the file.
Only an administrator, regardless of rights, can change an administrator's staff properties.
