In '''User Management''', the District Coordinator needs RW permissions for the category of '''Staff'''.  Next, in Staff, a RW '''Program''' permission is to be assigned for '''Post Transactions'''.  Finally, an Action permission of '''Insert/Update/Delete''' for '''Set District Defaults''' is given to this user.  This will allow the District Coordinator to control District Default settings for the staff attendance program.

*'''Set District Defaults''':  The District Coordinator in charge of staff attendance needs to set the '''District Defaults''', which in turn will be pushed out to the other users.  In the '''Employee Attendance Posting''' program, click '''Action''', then '''District Defaults''' to set items such as '''Vendor''', '''default attendance code''', '''pay periods''', '''hour/week limitations''' and '''ignoring staff hour limitations'''. NOTE:  You must have a specific  security setting to post '''pay periods'''.
