# How to Enable Admin Read-Only Mode
For some companies it may be important to grant administrators with read-only access to their schedule and or timesheet information. To enable read-only access to your administrator, follow the steps below.
Select the **People** tab from the top navigation bar.
Click on the name of the administrator you would like to enable read-only for. To locate them quickly, use the search field.
Click the **Edit User** button.
Scroll down the page and check off and note the possible options to check on or off which include: **Schedule Read-Only**, and **Timesheet Read-Only** (only applicable to time and attendance clients).
By checking the **Schedule Read-Only** on or off, your administrator will have read-only access the schedule. As a special note, your administrator will be able to add new employees into the department schedule they have access to but they will not be able to remove any employees from the department schedule.
By checking the **Timesheet Read-Only** on or off, which is only applicable to time and attendance clients, your administrator will have read-only access to the department timesheet they manage.
Once you have checked or unchecked the appropriate boxes for your administrator, select the **Update User** button to save your settlings.
