Security Roles are used in ExakTime Connect to determine what an employee can do within the website. This can range from:

• Administrators with unrestricted access.
• Employees limited to viewing and approving their own time card only.
• Custom roles for supervisors, bookkeepers, etc., to access specific pages or tasks.

An employee can only have one security role assigned, and adjusting that role will affect all users with that role. After a role has been adjusted, users with that role may need to refresh their browser or sign out and sign back in to ExakTime Connect to see the latest changes.
