Note that in User Guide the default names for the time-track hierarchy levels are used:

    - Top level: 'Customer'
    - Middle level: 'Project'
    - Time entry level: 'Task'

You can change the default names of the hierarchy levels in the general system settings. See the Adjust General System Settings section for more information.

To access the interfaces for Task, Project, and Customer Management use top-level menu option 'Tasks'.

There are three (3) access rights defined for Task, Project, and Customer Management:

  • Manage Customers & Projects
  • Manage Tasks
  • Enter Time-Track

Users who have 'Manage Customers & Projects' access right can access all system interfaces related to project and customer management. Grant this access right to those users who are responsible for customer & project management in your organization. For example, you can grant them to project managers.

Users who have 'Manage Tasks' access right can create and modify tasks in the active projects assigned to them. Grant this access right to those users who should be able to create tasks by themselves.

Users who have 'Manage Customers & Projects' access right always have 'Manage Tasks' access right.

Users who have 'Enter Time-Track' access right only are allowed to browse tasks and modify task comments, but are not allowed to modify other task information. Moreover such users will not see the project & customer management interfaces at all.

Note that users having none of these access rights will not see any of the task, project & customer management interfaces.

See User Management section for information on how to grant access rights to system users.
