Time Log Use Requirements

There are a number of requirements/access rights that a user must meet/have to be able to add (their own or someone else’s), view, edit or delete time entries. These are discussed below, under respective headings.

 

Overall requirements

  1. A time entry can be added for a user (by him/herself or by someone else) ONLY if the user is an assignee of the activity for which the entry is being added;
  2. The task must be visible to the user (this includes a task for which the user has clicked 'I'm Done' because then, for the user, the task is effectively closed).
  3. Activities belonging to projects with the status Template or Draft are not available for time logging (neither template nor draft projects are considered active).  

 

Other requirements/access rights

 

Adding user’s own time entries

  • To be able to add a time entry, a user must be a member of the project for which the entry is being added, AND have the ‘Add own time entries’ or ‘Add time entries for someone else’ permission enabled in the role.

 

Adding time entries for someone else

  • To be able to add a time entry for someone else, a user must meet one of two requirements: to be a member of the project concerned AND have the ‘Add time entries for someone else’ permission enabled in the role; OR
  • not to be a member of the project concerned but have ‘Add Time Entries for Someone Else’ permission enabled in the role AND have access to the project in question.
