The different roles within TimeChimp
TimeChimp has 4 standard roles. Namely:
Administrator
Project Manager
Team Manager
User
You can assign roles when creating a new employee under HRM. You can always adjust an employee's role by editing their profile.
Explanation of the rights of the roles
Administrator
The administrator has all the rights in the environment.
Project Manager
For a project manager, there are several rights that can be turned on. Below is an explanation of what the project manager can do.
Quickly add vehicles and products
Be added as a project manager to projects
View and edit projects when assigned as the project manager for the project
Approve hours of linked project members, depending on the approval module
View user registrations for projects to which the project manager has been added
Project managers can be added in bulk to multiple projects. To do this, select the desired projects in the project overview and, under Actions > Add Project Manager, add the project manager to the selected projects.
Team Manager
A team manager can:
Approve hours for their team
View and export registrations of their team members in overviews
Cannot create teams
Access the HRM dashboard of team members.
Is the project manager or team manager temporarily unavailable, for example due to vacation? They can assign a temporary replacement themselves. This article explains how that works.
User
A user has access to the tabs ‘Register’, ‘Overviews’, and their own profile.
In the Register tab, the user can log entries for the clients, projects, and/or activities they are allowed to record time on.
In the Overviews tab, the user can view only their own entries.
In My Profile, the employee has access to their dashboard (viewing leave, overtime, and planning) and can, for example, update their name, email address, or password.
A user can be added to one team.
Creating roles yourself
The standard roles that TimeChimp offers can't be edited but if the above roles are not sufficient, you can enable the 'roles' module to create your own role and define what rights this role should have. First go to the App Center to activate the Roles module.
Note! You need the Professional package for the 'Roles' module. Find more detailed information here about the permissions you can assign to a role
Once activated, you can create a role and customize its rights from the 'Manage' > 'Roles'.
