Summary: Employees that are granted an extra permission can now manually add and edit time entries in the app.

To grant existing employees this new permission press the Edit button on the employee in the employees table, tick the permission and confirm.

Form inputs include employee name, password, and a permission checkbox for granting employees the right to manually adding or editing time entries in the app. Buttons on the bottom are: edit employee, deactivate employee, and close window.

The same checkmark is shown when creating new employees. The next step is for the employee to log out and back in again in the app for the new permission to take effect. In the app: Settings -> Sign Out -> Sign in!. After the employee clocks into a project new in/out time buttons become available (13:37 and hh:mm):
