Understanding Manager Self-Service Components
The manager self-service components enable managers to review, add, update, and delete (where appropriate) time and labor information for their direct reports.
Note: Managers cannot access their own information using the Manager Self Service component; they use the Employee Self-Service component to report and access their time.
See Understanding Self-Service Components.
Manager Self Service components include:

Manager Search Options (TL_MSS_SRCH_OPTION).
Allows a manager to specify the default search criteria and display options that will appear for employee searches, used on the various manager pages.
Employee Selection Criteria
The Employee Selection Criteria grid is a common component that appears on many of the self service pages that managers use in Time and Labor. This component is described in the Using Manager Self Service for Scheduling Components section.
Roles
The self service components can be used by both the employee and the manager; therefore, we deliver definitions for these roles and define a menu for each role.
Note: In this section, we use the term employee to refer to all people who work for and report time at the organization. This can include regular employees as well as contractors and other temporary assignment workers.
Security
The user profile that you create for each individual who accesses the self-service components determines the internet pages that the user can access by default. Create user profiles by using the User Profiles component (USERMAINT). Assign a role to each user profile, which is linked to access control lists. Each access control list identifies pages that individuals can access. To modify the access for specific internet pages for each role, modify the access control list for the user's role. Define which data the user can access in the user profile.
For the Manager Self Service, Time Management pages that display a list of employees, the following determines which employees the manager has access to:
Determine the row security permission list that is assigned to your user ID on the User Profiles - General page.
If you use group security in Time and Labor, this row security permission list should be associated with dynamic and static groups that you have created.
If you decide not to use group security and do not have groups assigned to your row security permission list, the default is the use of departmental security.
Departmental security is derived by determining the department ID and then investigating who you have access to in the department, as well as the departments that are set up as children nodes on the departmental security tree.
If you do use group security within Time and Labor, make sure the dynamic groups are refreshed to the date that you need, to have the most up-to-date inclusion of employees in the list.
For all pages that you use to access time reporter information in the Time and Labor system, we derive the view of time reporters based on the criteria above.
