Identifying groups of employees who will be using Tātou and what access they should have is a critical part of your account set up.
There are separate access options for the Tātou Field app and Tātou Office app, each of which have multiple options based on what your employees need access to, and it’s important to understand what these access options are, and where to assign them.
Permissions are assigned to employees in their Employee Profile → Details → Login and Permissions, or by adding the the permission_group column in the employee bulk import.

On the Permissions Group Page you will find a list of all permissions groups and a summary of the groups access for each of the categories. Default Permissions Groups come with every Tātou account and include:
Administrator 🔒 - Full access to Office and Field
Client 🔒 - Can login to Tātou Office App and approve jobs tracked on their locations and blocks
Kiosk 🔒 - Can clock employees in and out (for operations using the Kiosk feature)
Permissions Groups can be added to fit your Organisational Requirements, below are a few examples of what that might look like:
