What are permissions?

Permissions are specific rights or privileges assigned to actions within the MonstarPeople system. Each permission allows a user to perform a particular operation, such as adding employees, updating profiles, or exporting reports. Permissions ensure that users only have access to the functionalities necessary for their job tasks. Administrators can access, edit and modify permissions.

What type of permissions can you access and set as an administrator?

You can choose and set several types of limitations and permissions from a list of 72 HR functionalities for your employees. You can view the list of permissions from the Admin Panel located at the left sidebar in the dashboard. 

• If you are logged in to your MonstarPeople account,  you can access and modify within the system directly by navigating to admin panel and then permissions.

• If you are not logged in the system, you can view the list of 72 permissions in MonstarPeople by scrolling down to the bottom of this page.

What are roles?

A role is a collection of permissions grouped together under a single label to define the access level of a user or a group of users. Roles simplify the management of user permissions by allowing administrators to assign multiple permissions simultaneously through roles. For example, an “Admin” role might include a wide range of permissions for system management tasks, whereas a “User” role might have more limited access.

Rules allow administrators to control, edit and modify who can see and do what, thereby enhancing security and operational efficiency.

What are checking types?

Check-in types are categories used to track employee location and record employee attendance within your organization. These check-in types help differentiate between where and how your employees are working. MonstarPeople comes with 4 predefined checkin types and these can also be customized.

What is the use of assigning checking types?

Assigning check-in types help HR and administrators with the following areas:

1. Location-Based Tracking of Employees: MonstarPeople uses GPS location tracking and helps admins and HR managers determine and verify the geographic location of the employees when they check in. 

2. Geo-Fencing: With the help of the geo-fencing technology enabled by MonstarPeople Attendance system and by assigning the “In-Office” check-in functionality to users, you can set up location boundaries around specific locations such as your office or a designated work site. When you enable this feature, employees can only check in for attendance within these predefined areas, enhancing compliance with workplace policies. This option can also be enforced by specific networks like your company’s Wi-Fi.

3. Tracking Attendance: This involves systematically recording the times when employees check in and out, providing you and your team data that can be used for resource planning. payroll and monitoring compliance with work schedules.

Thus, by assigning the check-in types you can manage diverse working arrangements efficiently.
