Throughout the Admin area you can use user groups to impose visibility restrictions. User groups enable you to make the following areas visible to a select group of users:

  • Departments

  • Categories

  • Projects

  • Tax Rates

  • Mileage and Fuel Rates

  • Custom Fields

  • Time Rates

Note: In addition to imposing visibility restrictions at a user group level, restrictions can also be set at a department or individual (user) level.  

User groups can also be useful when reviewing your users' expenses. When searching expenses within the Finance area, you'll be able to filter by User Group before processing your approved expenses or searching your completed expenses.
