How to authorize employees to clock in?

Administrators can decide which devices employees are allowed to use for punching in/out: App, Web (computer) and Tablet kiosk. These options are configured in Device settings under Attendance.

After enabling a device, each employee can be given access individually. Only users with administrative permissions can change these settings.

1. Open punch settings

   • From the left menu, go to Attendance and select Super Punch.

   • Click Settings. A Device settings window opens.
     
     

2. Enable devices

   • Under Allow employees to punch using, click the icons to enable or disable. A blue check mark indicates it is active:

     • App – punching via mobile app.

     • Tablet – punching via kiosk tablet with a token and facial recognition.

     • Web – punching through a web browser.
       
       

3. Configure advanced options (optional)

   • Selecting Web reveals Advanced settings. For App, you can set Punch Creation Options, Punch Assignment Options, allow punches from any location and enable facial validation.

   • For Tablet, you will see the Tablet Token, Kiosk access ID, and a toggle to Enable Facial Biometrics.
     
     

4. Save

   • After selecting the desired devices, click Save to apply changes.
     
     

5. Authorize employees individually (optional)

   • Click on People then open each employee's profile.

   • In the Punch settings tab, select which devices each employee can use, following the same instructions as the steps above.
     Note: when changing settings at the individual level, only that employee will have these new time and attendance access permissions.
     
     

Tips or troubleshooting

• Employees need valid login credentials to use the web interface.

• Keep the tablet token confidential to prevent unauthorized use.

Best practices

• Only enable the devices your company actually uses.

• Review employee permissions regularly.

• Combine facial recognition with location validation for increased security.
