Adding and editing users

To provide an employee with access to Replicon, you must add them as a user. You can add or edit individual users, and you can edit multiple users at once.

When you add a user, you’ll assign settings within that user’s profile. These settings determine what Replicon features and functionality they can access.

You can also disable users, if you don't want them to have access to the system.

Adding users in a new system

If you’re setting up a new system, you should ensure all functionality that will be assigned to users has been set up before you start adding users. This will save you time.

The following typically require setup before you add users:

• Login name and email formulas
• User profile defaults
• Departments and employee types
• Locations and other group types
• Overtime rules or pay rules, and validation rules
• Punch entry policies
• Permission sets
• Timesheet, time off and expense sheet templates
• Timesheet, time off and expense sheet approval paths
• Timesheet periods
• Activities
• Time off types
• Office schedules
• Holiday calendars
• Cost normalization rules
• User custom fields

Does it matter in what order we add users?

When adding users, starting at the top of your organization's supervisory hierarchy and working your way down can save you time. This approach allows you to assign a supervisor to each user when creating each user profile.

Adding a user

Use the procedure below to add a single user. Or, if you have a lot of users to add, you can use the Replicon Import Add-in (RIA) to import users via a spreadsheet.

To add a single user:

1. Go to Administration > Employees and Organization > Users.
2. Click Add User.

3. On the User Profile page that displays, complete all applicable user profile fields.
4. Click Save User Profile.

A menu displays on the left side of the page.

5. Select categories from this menu to assign additional functionality to the user.

Editing a user

You can edit one user at a time, or multiple users at once.

To edit a single user:

1. Go to Administration > Employees and Organization > Users.
2. Find the user whose profile details you wish to edit. Use the search fields, if necessary, to narrow down the list of users.
3. Click the name of the user.

It is possible to edit multiple users are once by enabling multiple check boxes.

4. Update user profile fields as required. Select categories from the menu on the left side of the page to access additional fields.
