A user is a person who can log in to IceHrm. It’s not required for admin users to have an employee attached but each non-admin user must have an associated employee. Having an employee added to IceHrm won’t allow the person to log in to IceHrm. You need to create a user with a Manager or Employee user level for that employee to be able to log in to the system.
An admin can create a user by going to System -> Users. When creating a user, the admin has to input a username, email, and other related information. Once the user account is created, an email with the username and password will be sent to the user so that they can login to IceHrm.
