A Supervisor can manage users who they supervise and also have the ability to manage groups. - Supervisors must access users via a user list as they do not have access to the Control Panel. - It is recommended to have a menu option leading the supervisor to the user list. - Supervisors cannot delete users, only modify their settings. - Supervisors can add multiple supervisors if there are multiple people who should manage the group of employees or receive approval notifications when the Supervisor is selected in the Workflow sequences. - Supervisors will have access to view all tabs on the User ID Card, including the user's task list. ## **Add a Supervisor** --- **To add a supervisor:** 1. Hover over the user information in the upper right-hand corner of the window and select Control Panel. ![nt79gUDKYuZyyfhjh0ACH6DenrIw7UIX2w](https://s3.amazonaws.com/cdn.freshdesk.com/data/helpdesk/attachments/production/47056991162/original/nt79gUDKYuZyyfhjh0ACH6DenrIw7UIX2w.png?1612195194) 2.
