Employee is a person who uses Tillypad XL as part of his or her work routine. Employees of your enterprise are system users. In the Employees directory, you can store a list of all users with their personal details, assigned names, usernames and passwords to sign into the system.

Using security levels you can define system objects that can be viewed or edited only by those employees who have special privileges. The list of security levels, assigned to system objects, is stored in the Security levels directory.

The lists of privileges, assigned to users to run certain operations and to view or edit attributes of the directories and lists, are specified in employee privileges. The list of employee privileges defining typical sets of privileges for different ranks of employees is stored in the Employee privileges directory.

Access rights of employees depend on their user roles. You need to specify a user role for each employee. The list of user roles of the employees is stored in the User roles directory.

In Tillypad XL access rights are configured for user roles instead of individual users. When configuring access rights, you need to specify the list of privileges, assigned to a user role, and the list of system objects that can be managed by a user with this user role using these privileges. You can configure access settings for the selected user role, for the selected employee privilege or for the selected security level.

The Timesheet log records working time of your employees.

By using the Change password operation window the user can change his or her password.
