Roles

Every user in AbleTime has an organization role that determines what they can see and do. Roles are assigned when a user is invited and can be changed from the Personnel page.

Owner

The owner is the person who created the organization. There is exactly one owner per organization. The owner has full access to every feature, including subscription management, billing, and the ability to promote users to Admin. The owner’s role cannot be changed.

Admin

Admins have broad access across the application. They can:

• Invite, edit, and remove users.

• Create and manage projects, categories, tags, clients, and capacity types.

• Access all reports, including reports for other users.

• Create and manage invoices.

• Manage Time Flow tasks, epics, and milestones.

• Change organization settings.

Only the organization owner can promote a user to Admin.

Account Manager

Account Managers handle clients, billing, and reports without managing the work itself. They can:

• Create and manage clients.

• Create and manage invoices.

• Access all reports, including reports for other users.

Account Managers can view projects, tasks, tags, and the personnel list, but do not manage projects, tasks, or personnel, and have no access to organization settings.

Manager

Managers are project managers/team leads who work within projects. They can:

• Manage project categories and personnel assignments within projects they are assigned to.

• Create and manage Time Flow tasks and epics.

• Track their own time.

Managers do not have access to the personnel list, organization settings, billing, or reports for other users.

User

The User role is the standard team member. Users can:

• Track their own time entries.

• View their personal dashboard and reports.

• Work on Time Flow tasks, including setting assignments, priority, etc.

• Manage their own profile and account settings.

Users do not have access to personnel management, organization settings, billing, or other users’ data.

Changing a User’s Role

To change a user’s role, open their edit form from the personnel list and select a new value from the Role dropdown. The available options depend on your own role:

• The organization owner can assign User, Manager, Account Manager, or Admin.

• Admins can assign User, Manager, or Account Manager.

The owner’s role cannot be changed. For details on the edit form, see Managing Users.
