If time tracking with the time clock or the time recording terminal is enabled, you can view the live time clock status of employees in Timebutler. Different view permissions apply depending on the user type:
View permissions for admins
Admins always have full view and edit rights for all users, and thus for the live time clock status of all employees.
View permissions for managers
Managers always see the live time clock status of the employees they have view permissions for.
An admin can allow managers to see the live time clock status of all employees. To do this, an admin logs in to Timebutler, clicks Settings > More… at the bottom left, then Time tracking on the right. There you find the setting Time clock status for all users.
View permissions for employee users
For employees to see the live time clock status, an admin must enable the corresponding setting. To do this, an admin logs in to Timebutler, clicks Settings > More… at the bottom left, then Time tracking on the right. There you find the setting Time clock status for employee users.
