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 assigning the app and any chosen permissions to a group. If the Time app and any permissions associated with it are assigned to 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:

  1. From the Cloud menu () icon, select Groups, Staff, or Contacts.

  2. Select the user or group you want to enable the app for, then select the Edit () icon.

    Select Edit on a user or group to access their settings

  3. Select Apps, then choose the appropriate permissions.

    Apps selected and the permissions listed.
