Set up Pay Rates Admin Permissions
Permitting your Admins to set users' pay rates can be a scary thing, after all this is real money we are talking about! For this reason, we have created a comprehensive set of admin permissions, ensuring that you can control exactly who can adjust the pay rate.
Under the admin permissions there are two options:
View: This option allows admins to only view the user's pay rate and estimated salary.
View and Edit: This option allows admins to not only view but also add or update the user's pay rate. Please note that all owners are automatically added with this permission.

Set up your account's security
Connecteam allows the owner of the account to set direct securities measures and customize them to the company's needs. As the owner of the account, you can set up either security settings or password strength.
Security settings:
Enable 2FA (Two Factor Authentication) for all admins when accessing the dashboard - add an extra layer of security to your admin's dashboard with 2FA. System admins will need to enter usernames and passwords, and then will be directed to add an additional temporary PIN code which will be sent to their mobile device via text message.
Force app users to authenticate using their device's authentication method when accessing the app - enable this option to force the user's authentication when accessing the mobile app. The authentication method will be according to their device's face recognition or fingerprint authentication.
Require users to take a selfie image when logging into the kiosk app - enable this option to avoid buddy punching or signing in. You'll be able to find an audit for those selfie images in each user's activity under their user profile.
Log out admins if they are inactive for more than X amount of minutes.
Lock admins for X minutes after X failed password attempts.
Require admins to reset their password every X days.
Password strength:
Passwords provide the first line of defense against unauthorized access to your computer and personal information. The stronger the password, the more protected your computer will be from hackers and malicious software.
