# Users

Users in Opentimeclock refer to individuals who have access to the time tracking and management system. They can be categorized into different roles, such as employees, managers, and administrators, each with specific permissions and responsibilities. Employees can clock in and out, view their time entries, and access schedules. Managers and administrators, on the other hand, can manage employee records, approve timesheets, and generate reports, ensuring efficient workforce management.

**The Users tab provides an overview of all personnel in the system.**
