Select the team members you’d like to archive by checking the checkboxes on your left.

💡Useful for: when an employee no longer works at your company and you want to remove access from your workspace, but still want to preserve all his completed tasks, timesheets, etc.

📝Note: The user who is currently setup as the account owner cannot be archived.

Team member roles

Roles: admin | Paid feature

There are three team member roles with different permission levels: Administrator, Project Manager and Coworker:

Coworkers: can only track time and edit tasks on projects they have been assigned to and can only see their own time. You can set further permissions for this role:
- Can edit time entries: allows the coworker to add and edit time entries, if this option is not checked they will be only able to track with the timer.
- Can edit tasks: allows the coworker to edit task details, re-assign it and delete it.
- Can edit projects: allows the coworker to edit project details, re-assign it and delete it.
Project managers can view and edit all projects, create timesheets and reports and delegate tasks to coworkers.
Administrators can do all of that and also invite people to join the account, see and edit rates and costs, edit account details and settings, as well as cancel their TrackingTime account.

How to change team member role:

Click on the team member you want to edit.
In the team detail sidebar go to "Permissions"
Select the role from the drop down list.
If you select ‘Coworker’ you’ll be able to specify if this user can edit time entries, projects and tasks.

Projects access

Roles: admin | Paid feature

Admins can select the active projects that coworkers should have access to. Team members with the coworker role need to have access to the projects and be assigned to the tasks to be able to track time against them.

How to grant or revoke project access:

Click on the team member you want to edit.
In the 'Permissions' section select the projects you want this user to have access to.
