Start-Options

The TimePunch Watcher can be started with different start options. Normally that’s not necessary, but it can be useful with special configurations.

In order to start the TimePunch Watcher with a command parameter, one should look for the TimePunch Watcher in the Startup folder of Windows. With a right button click the properties can be opened.

There can be set two start parameters.

/principal={TimePunch Profile}

Using the start parameter “/principal” the used TimePunch Profile can be set. The principal is the account owner. That means it‘s a complete switch of the user profile. If the TimePunch Watcher gets started with that principal, the user also have the permissions of the new profile.

To make that work, it’s necessary that the target profile is protected with a password. That’s a security feature, because otherwise a project staff could access the data of his chief if his account is not password protected.
