Overview
Team leads and team participants with a custom “Manage team” permission are permitted to manage, delete and create custom roles with specific permission levels.
You can define, who can see or/and manage team members' work logs. You can decide, who should be able to log time to a team. Any other members without respective permissions will not be able to log time to a team.
Please note, that the Timesheet Builder permission scheme does not overwrite Jira permissions. So if a user does not have the Jira project permissions to log work, the user will not be able to log time to a project, even if the user has necessary permissions in Timesheet Builder on a team level.
