Enable staff to submit time and expense entries via Cloud
To submit time and expense entries using Cloud, staff will require access to the Time app and one of the following permissions:
- Process own entries will enable staff to submit their own entries
- Process all staff entries will enable staff to submit entries for all members of the organization.
You can grant access to the Time app and assign these permissions at the same time, either by editing a staff account directly, or by enabling the app and any chosen permissions for a group. If the Time app and any permissions associated with it are enabled for a group, all members of that group will given access to Time and the assigned permissions. Ensure you have the Staff Admin role to enable access for staff members or staff groups, or the Entities Admin role to enable access for a contact or contact group.
To enable app access for a user or group:
-
From the Cloud menu (
), select Groups, Staff, or Contacts.
-
Select the user or group where you want to enable the app, then select Edit (
).
-
Select Apps, then choose the appropriate access type.
-
No access: Do not enable access to the app for the user or group. This is the default option and does not use any licenses.
-
Read-only: Enable the user or group to view (but not modify) engagements and files in the app without using any licenses. Only available for Cloud Engagement apps.
-
Full access: Enable the app for the user or group. This option uses a license for each user that receives app access.
-
-
If the user or group receives Full access to an app, assign the applicable app permissions.
-
Select Save.
The user or group can now submit time and expense entries.
Note: If the user or group was given access to the Time app through this process, ensure that they refresh Cloud in their browser to make the app visible in the Cloud menu.
