Selfie attendance

Enable the Selfie Attendance add-on. Add Selfie to an alternative in attendance policies, alone or with Geofence attendance or Office network attendance. The selfie check has no additional settings in the policy.

Record attendance

Employees take a photo using the front camera when checking in or out. Web users need a camera and browser permission; mobile users must allow camera access.

Each photo can be used for one attendance punch within five minutes of capture. A check-in photo cannot be reused for checkout or by another employee. If a capture expires, take a new one before retrying.

The photo provides evidence for review. It is not described as automatic face recognition or an identity match.

Review photos

People with View attendance selfies open Attendance → Attendance selfies. They see only employees whose attendance they can access. Filter by action and date, then open the photo and compare it with the employee's profile where needed.

Photos are private and are not served through public links. The Delete attendance selfies permission allows removal when a photo was captured by mistake or needs to be removed for privacy. Deleting the photo leaves the record that a selfie was taken in the attendance session.

Set retention

Open Settings → Attendance selfies and choose Keep photos for (days) between 1 and 730; the default is 90 days. The server removes photos after this period and clears abandoned captures within an hour.

Choose a retention period appropriate to your organization's needs, tell employees how photos are used and retained, and ensure the server's background services are running. See Email and background services.
