Clockgauge Host has named accounts instead of a shared password. Roles are Owner, Manager, Payroll and Viewer. Passwords must be at least ten characters, repeated wrong attempts lock the account for a while, forgotten passwords are reset by an emailed code or by the owner's recovery key, and an audit log records who changed what.
Roles
| Role | Typical access |
|---|---|
| Owner | Everything, including plan, backup and uninstall |
| Manager | People, projects, reports and screenshots |
| Payroll | Pay rates, balances and payments |
| Viewer | Read-only reports |
