Wondering how to change a user or a manager to an Administrator or Vice Versa?
✅ Administrator Profile and Role Restrictions
Can You Change a User or Manager to an Administrator?
No, you cannot change an existing Employee or Manager into an Administrator, and vice versa. Roles are separate and require different login credentials.
Why Two Separate Profiles Are Needed
An Administrator:
- Has a unique navigation menu with settings no one else can access.
- Cannot submit Time-Off requests, fill out Timesheets, or manage their own data unless they have a second login.
- Cannot be assigned to approval paths.
- Will auto-approve any request submitted on behalf of a user.
- Does not count toward billing. Administrators are free and unlimited.
How to Create a User Profile for an Administrator
If an Administrator needs to track their own information:
- Go to Staff Module.
- Click Create User (top right).
- Choose Employee or Manager as the role.
- Fill out required information.
- Click Save.
Important: The username must be different from the Administrator login, but other details can be the same.
