## Why restrict this right?

Schedule and HR managers generally have access to editing clockings to manage those of their teams. However, allowing them to edit **their own clockings** can pose an internal control problem. Shyfter lets you disable this possibility person by person.

## How to disable editing of one's own clockings

1. Go to **Team → Users** and open the profile of the manager concerned.
2. In the **Profile → Settings** tab, scroll to the appropriate section.
3. Uncheck the option **Allow editing of one's own clockings**.
4. Save.

The manager keeps all their other rights (editing their colleagues' clockings, managing the schedule, etc.) but can no longer create or edit their own clocking entries.

## Good to know

- This restriction applies both to **schedule managers** and to **HR managers**.
- It does not affect account administrators.
- If you need reinforced control over the clocking data, combine this setting with the clocking alerts available in the **Notifications** of the user profile.
