Users and Roles
Users represent individual people using Timeora, while roles define what each user is allowed to see and do. This is the core model for controlled access and accountable operations.
How users and roles relate to teams
Teams organize users into operational groups. Roles define each user's authority, and team membership determines where that authority applies day-to-day. Together, they control both access and collaboration boundaries.
What users and roles are for
- Ensure each person has access only to the data and actions needed for their responsibilities.
- Support auditability by making permissions explicit and role-based.
- Reduce operational risk by avoiding broad, unmanaged access.
- Create predictable workflows by standardizing permissions per role type.
Role model in Timeora
- Admin: Full access to configuration, user management, and global settings.
- Manager: Operational and reporting access for managing team delivery, typically without full system administration.
- User: Standard day-to-day access focused on assigned work, time entry, and collaboration tasks.

How to manage users and roles effectively
- Define clear role profiles before assigning users.
- Assign the least privilege required for each user to perform their tasks.
- Review role assignments regularly as responsibilities change.
- Align role assignments with team structure to avoid permission overlap.
- Document role ownership so approvals and changes are traceable.
