Who can see and change projects

Business owner

The Business owner sees every project, its tasks, everyone’s time and the money, and can do everything with them.

Member

A Member has the permissions the Business owner gives in Settings, Members, in the Projects block.

The permission for projects:

• Edit: see every project, create, change, complete, copy and delete projects, manage their task lists and tasks, and change the project settings.
• View: see every project and its tasks, comment, and complete or move the tasks assigned to them. They don’t create or change projects.
• Neither: no project. They can still log their own time, without a project, in Time.

A new Member gets the permission for projects with Edit.

Rates, costs and budgets

The money of a project is behind the permission for rates and budgets, which a Member doesn’t have until you give it:

• View: see the hourly rates, the amounts of the time, the cost and the budget.
• Edit: also change the rates and the budget.

Without it, the money fields and figures don’t show. See Billable time, hourly rates and budget.

Whose time they see

Everyone logs and sees their own time. To see the time of others:

• The Business owner sees everyone’s.
• A Member with Timesheets or the permission for rates and budgets set to View sees everyone’s, on the projects they see.
• A project’s leader sees everyone’s time on that project.

To log time for someone else, you need to be the Business owner or have Timesheets set to Edit.

Members of a project

Only a project’s members can be given its tasks, follow them and log time on it. Being a member doesn’t change what a Member may do: their permissions do.

Employees

An employee sees only the projects they are a member of, never the money, and only their own time. See What employees see in Projects.
