Why user roles? #
With the help of different user roles you can decide who can see and do what. There are three user access levels:
- Administrators – full access to all features and data
- Managers – access to team data and limited admin rights
- Regular users – can track time but only access their own data
Roles and their privileges #
Below is a detailed overview of which roles can see and do what.

How roles affect tile visibility #
To keep time tracking focused and relevant, all team members—regardless of role—only see assigned tiles in their desktop and mobile apps.
Only in the web console, visibitity depends on the role:
- Regular users also see only their assigned tiles
- Managers and administrators always see all tiles so they can change assignments and create team reports.
