Summary

Feature Access Templates

Feature Access Groups are used to grant managers or supervisors access to their
employees' records and to certain functions within XactTime. You can give a manager the
ability to review and edit employee timesheets, create schedules, print reports, and more.
In the Employee Access Group Members section, you specify which employees and
functions you want the manager to access, and then assign the feature access template and
employee access group to the manager. When the manager logs into XactTime, he or she
will be able to see the employees and use the features granted by the Security Group.

Note: You do not need to assign regular employees to a security group. Regular user
access gives them the ability to track their own time without having to have special access.



A full-access, admin security group is built into your XactTime account. This admin security
group grants full access to all employees and all functions of XactTime.

The first time you visit the Feature Access Group page, the admin security group displays in
