Purpose

Adding a supervisor to each user allows for the company to track who an employee reports to in the organization chart, but also provides for a dynamic setup of workflow processes within VisualVault.

Multiple supervisors can be assigned for workflow purposes.

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.
