How can I change employees' usernames when their legal names change?
New to Timesheet v7.7, you can change existing usernames without creating new accounts. Simply go to Management → Users → User Management and click on the name of the employee you want to edit. The username field on the user modification screen is now open for editing. You simply make your changes to the field and click on Save. The employee's password will not be changed unless you edit the password fields on user modification as well.
Two of my Project Managers have access to the same project in Timesheet – one as its manager and the other as a team member. How do I limit project edit access to the PM who manages it?
New to Timesheet v7.7., you can set a Project Owner for any project and/or its descendants. The Project Owner and Backup Owner fields can be found on any project modification page under Management → Projects* → Project Management.
By default, both fields are set to "none", but Administrators have the option to select any account with project manager abilities as the owner of the project. The designated owner then has the option to set a backup owner temporarily or for the life of the project. Selected owners can be carried over to all child projects underneath a project, or they can each have a unique owner. Owners are the only project managers who can edit the project. Any other project managers with access to the project will only be able to view the project in a read-only mode.
* The Projects area may have been renamed in your system.
