Why should you set up security for e-timecard users?

When your system administrator installs the JAMIS e-timecard web server software for the first time, the process automatically creates a built-in administrator user. Until you use this built-in administrator to set up additional administrator users and end users, this will be the only user with any access to the system. Because the built-in administrator account expires in 90 days, at least one permanent administrator must be set up. Chapter 4 of the JAMIS e-timecard Systems Guide contains more details about the built-in administrator.

In small companies, only one person may perform all e-timecard administrative functions. In many cases, however, you’ll need to grant appropriate access rights to others.

• If you, the e-timecard administrator, are absent, another user performs administrative functions while you’re away.

• If you work for a large company, you designate other users as site administrators to perform specific administrative functions.

You use Security setup to establish the users in your company who can access e-timecard administrative functions. You define the modules, data tables, and functions that individual users can view and update.
