How to Set User-Specific Settings

Updated this week

Atto allows you to customize key settings for each team member β€” helping you tailor their experience, responsibilities, and permissions based on their role in the company.


Default Role for New Users

When a team member is first added, they are automatically assigned the Employee role.

  • This role includes standard access such as:

    • Clocking in and out

    • Tracking work hours

    • Adding notes to time cards


How to Update User-Specific Settings

  1. Go to Settings > Manage Team

  2. Select the team member you want to update

  3. Adjust their settings as needed:

Settings You Can Modify:

  • Role

    • Assign one of the following roles:

      • Admin – Full access to manage account and users

      • Manager – Can manage the team, but not account settings

      • Employee – Basic access to log work and view personal timesheets

  • Location Tracking
