In the admin panel you can do every administration that is necessary for the running system.
Here you can add, change and delete customers. If you do not set a password the customer cannot login to Kimai. By selecting a group you enable all members of that group to see that customer. All fields except the customer name are optionally.
Here you can add, change and delete projects. Projects have to be assigned to a customer. Further you can set rates for this project if they differ from the standard rates (for details about rates see chapter Rates). If there is a budget it can be set here, too.
Here you can add, change and delete tasks. A task has no relation to a customer or a project, but you can select which groups can use them. Additionally you can set rates here, too (for details about rates see chapter Rates).
Here you can add, change and delete users. Users work with Kimai and can add, change or delete data like their own time records and other data. What a user can do depends on roles and rights. The roles and rights are set using global roles, membership roles and groups.
Here you can add, modify and delete groups and also define their membership role. Every group can have an unlimited amount of membership roles.
User get their permissions from their global roles and from their group membership
The membership role defines with role a user has inside of a group.
Use this function to define status labels.
Here you can define general settings like number of failed login-tries, bantime, currency, etc.
Backup the database with the maintenance function before updating Kimai. Other database functions might be implemented here in the future.
