What can each role do in TimeTac?

 TimeTac uses a role-based permission system. Each user has at least one role that determines what they can see and do in the application. You can view and change a user's role in their profile under Users.

Standard user

The Standard user role is the default role assigned to all users added to TimeTac. Users with this role manage their own working time, absences, and personal data. They cannot view or edit other users' data.

Users with the Standard user role can:

• track their working time by adding manual time entries or by using the Tracker  
• request absences for themselves
• view their own timesheet report, work schedule, and balances
• edit their own profile

Manager

The Manager role is required to assign someone as a department head or deputy. Users with this role can view and approve the time data of users in the departments they lead. They don't automatically get access to all users in the account.

In addition to all Standard user capabilities, a user with the Manager role can:

• be assigned as a department head or deputy
• accept absence requests and time entry changes from users in their departments
• view timesheet reports and balances of users in their departments
• receive notifications about open requests from their departments
