29.1 Access Groups

Access Groups

Access groups are set by going to ‘Access’ then ‘Access Groups’.

Access groups are necessary to construct a “Device and Time” schedule for employee’s access control. Each employee can be allocated to any access group created as long as it has no limit restrictions being applied. The employee will be able to clock at all of the devices selected, but only for the ‘From’ and ‘To’ times associated to it. A ‘Send Configuration’ will need to be performed (only once), on each device in order for these time zones to take effect. If an access group has changed, resulting in employee’s permissions changing, the employee should be sent to devices again.

Many access groups can be created using any combination of devices and time zones.

Certain limits may be implemented for further control. Inactivity Limits are used to remove non-clocking (absent for extended time) employees from devices. The system will do a check at midnight every day or shortly after the JT Engine starts if it has not been running over midnight. The employees will be removed and their status set to accordingly If notification should be sent to the supervisor, the option to ‘Email the employees’ supervisor after activation’ should be ticked. If no supervisors are assigned, or additional emails should be sent, the And / Or send email to address field can be completed.

Excessive Access Limits may also be implemented to remove any employee who clocks too many times during the specified time period. This check will be done each time an import of clockings occurs and will only apply for the number of hours specified before the clocking import.

Employee Limits allow for access groups with a limited number of members. Note that if the access group has already been applied to a greater number of employees than the limit allows for, no one will be removed from the Access Group. Only future additions will be restricted.

The ‘Excel’ button will send a listing of events and settings into Excel.
