Assign Permissions To Users¶

In an enterprise, a user will be assigned certain permissions to ensure an effective working time. That’s why there will be several different permissions while using Timesheet App.

To set up user permission, navigate to Setting ‣ Users & Companies ‣ Users, and select the user you want to assign. In the Service section, the timesheets app will have 4 options for the users:

Blank: The user will not see the Timesheets App on the system.
User: own timesheets only: Assigned to the employees in departments. Users will be able to create, view, edit, and delete their timesheets.
User: all timesheets: Assign permissions to employees on the manager level. Users can create, view, edit, and delete everyone’s timesheets.
Administrator: Assign permission to the higher-level managers:
1. This user can create, view, edit, delete everyone’s timesheets.
2. View timesheet reports by: Employee; department; project; task using many different types of reports.

Warning

If the Timesheets function is integrated with the Project app and the user is assigned as an Administrator, then Timesheets permission will automatically change to User: all timesheets or above. You can’t change the permission to User: own timesheets only if the user is a Project Administrator.

Above are the first steps to get used to Viindoo Timesheets App to help you manage working time for yourself and your employees more effectively.
