An administrator for Arcoro Time is a user who requires unrestricted access to Arcoro Time. There can be any number of administrators, and it is only limited by the number of employee licenses available in Arcoro Time. Any person interacting with Arcoro Time in any fashion will consume an employee license, even if they do not track their time. If you are an administrator who is leaving the company and want to make another employee an administrator, you will want to add the new administrator first, then have the new administrator make your employee profile inactive.
If you are also using our Core module, it is best to set up the user and username in Core first, as Core is the "source of truth" for other modules and allows your employees to navigate between Arcoro modules with a single username.
Only Admins Can Add Admins
Only administrators can add another administrator to Arcoro Time. The "Administrator" role will not be listed in the drop-down menu for non-administrators.

Person Type - What the user needs to do will determine the type of person:
- Employee - Their employee data goes to all other Arcoro modules immediately, such as Core HR, Arcoro Time, and Talent, as their data must exist within each respective module. Adjust access and permissions as appropriate where defaults do not apply.
- Contractor - Typically for non-employees or those who will only be needed in specific Arcoro modules. No record will be immediately sent to Arcoro products and will require them to be granted appropriate access/permission.
- The username is typically the user's work email.

- If the administrator is being granted Arcoro web access for the first time, they will receive an email to confirm the email and set up their password. This email/link will expire after 72 hours. This verification email can be resent from the employee's profile. If this needs to be done, send an invite to the Admin with the steps here.
