Begin allows admins to customize what each manager or employee can access. By default, managers have a standard set of permissions, but you can grant or revoke specific rights as needed. This feature is available to Admins.
How to access permission settings
Go to Employees in the left sidebar.
Click on the user whose permissions you want to change.
Navigate to the Permissions tab on their profile.
What permissions can be configured?
Permissions are organized by resource. For each resource, you can grant or revoke these actions:
Create — add new records
Read — view existing records
Update — edit existing records
Delete — remove records
Manage — full control over the resource
Access Disabled — explicitly block access to the resource
Confirm — confirm timesheets and overtime (timesheets only)
Finalize — lock timesheet periods (timesheets only)
Available permission resources
You can configure access to the following resources:
Timesheets — view and manage time entries
Timesheets: Overtime — overtime-specific timesheet actions
Timesheets: Comments — comments on timesheet entries
Objects — work sites and locations
Object Wages — wage settings per object
Object Gallery — photos and media for objects
Object Phones — phone numbers associated with objects
Job Types — job type classifications
Jobs — individual jobs
Job Units — units of work within jobs
Materials — materials tracking
Devices — physical time registration devices
Identifiers — fingerprints, RFID cards, faceprints
Integrations — third-party integrations
Organizations — company structure (locations and departments)
Customer Holidays — company-specific holidays
Compliance — compliance rules and settings
Day Comments — daily notes and comments
Advanced Reports — report generation and configuration
Request Files — files attached to employee requests
Important notes
Admins always have full access — permissions only apply to Managers and Employees.
Managers automatically see data for employees in their department. Permissions control what they can do with that data.
If a manager has no departments assigned, they can see all employees by default.
