Hi, we have added a new user role today that we called a member with limited access. It joins the existing hierarchy of our roles:<\/p>\n
Let us dwell on this new role and recall what the other roles stand for.<\/p>\n
A regular member is an ordinary teammate who tracks time and sees not just their hours, but the hours of colleagues on the interface of an integrated project management tool or in reports. An admin can lock time editing for members after X days in team settings.<\/p>\n
This is the default setting, as we want to position ourselves as a transparent tool where the whole team sees the overall progress and collaborates together on tasks.<\/p>\n
However, we got a handful of requests to limit this transparency. This is the case especially when a team consists of subcontractors, who don’t need to see the hours of each other.<\/p>\n
This is why we introduced a role of a member with limited access.<\/p>\n
A member of this role can see only their own time and estimates on UI of their project management tool and in reports. Let’s go through some peculiarities regarding the estimate display.<\/p>\n
A supervisor is a kind of a first-level manager, who can edit the time of other team members. The condition is that these members track time in a project that a supervisor has access to.<\/p>\n
