Understanding User Roles
Timecrack has two user roles that determine what actions a user can perform within the application.
Administrator
Administrators have full access to all Timecrack features. This includes:
- Full Project Access — View and manage all projects across the organization
- User Management — Create, edit, and delete user accounts
- Application Settings — Configure global application settings
- All Reports — Generate reports across all users and projects
- Time Entry Management — View and manage time entries for all users
The default account created during installation (admin@example.org) is an administrator account.
Regular User
Regular users can track their own time but cannot manage other users or global settings:
- Own Projects — Create and manage their own projects and tasks
- Own Time Entries — Start/stop timers and create manual time entries
- Own Reports — Generate reports for their own tracked time
- Personal Settings — Change their own profile, password, and preferences
- Search — Search through their own projects, tasks, and time entries
Managing Users (Admin Only)
As an administrator, you can manage users from the settings panel:
- Navigate to Settings → Users
- Click Add User to create a new account
- Fill in the user's name, email, password, and role
- Click Save to create the account
You can also edit existing users to change their role, reset their password, or deactivate their account.
