The supervisor user type is (as the name suggests) intended for supervisors in the company. Supervisors have assigned employees and can see their vacation and absence entries, time entries, vacation balances, master data, and overtime or working time balances.
Supervisors have the necessary permissions and can create, edit, and delete entries for the employees assigned to them, and approve or reject vacation and absence requests.
In the calendar, supervisors see the employees assigned to them and can access the detail view of entries as well as their master data.
Every user in Timebutler always has one or more supervisors assigned — including supervisors themselves. A supervisor’s requests are therefore approved by their own supervisor.
An admin can restrict or extend visibility and entry permissions for all users or individually for specific users. The detail view of the user account shows a specific user’s permissions.
Note: In Timebutler, the terms supervisor and manager are used interchangeably and refer to the same role.
