Labor Admin > Security > Groups
The Groups screen allows you to define and manage security.
If you use Advantage, your groups may already be established. This setting is shared between Advantage and Workforce. Therefore, if you add, change or delete any group information in one application, the information is automatically updated for the other.
In Workforce, a user's group defines which features they have access to within the menu, as well as:
oIf they are able to post schedules.
oIf they can edit forecasts.
oIf they can override unavailability.
oIf they can modify restaurant station headers.
oIf they can modify restaurant station assignments.
oAccess to wage information.
oWhat departments they can access.
When a user belongs to multiple groups, the features available to those groups is cumulative. That is, the user has access to each feature any one of his group definitions allows.
The only default group in Workforce is Administrators. Administrators have access to everything.
