### Time entries

* Required fields for time entries: `Date`, `Time spent`.

### Timesheet user roles

TimeTracker offers two user roles: `user` and `admin`. The roles are scoped to timesheets, meaning that the permissions granted to users or admins apply specifically within the context of individual timesheets.

Users can:

* **Create timesheets**
  * Users can create new timesheets. When creating a timesheet, they are effectively added as an admin.
* **Create, edit, and remove time entries**
  * Users can create, edit, and remove time entries they’ve created within the timesheets they’re associated with.
* **Act as admins on their timesheets**
  * Users can perform administrative functions on the timesheets they’ve created.
* **Join and leave timesheets**
  * Users can join other timesheets they’ve been invited to and leave timesheets as needed.

{% hint style="warning" %}
Removing or leaving timesheets will delete all time entries from that associated timesheet.
{% endhint %}

Admins can:

* **Perform all functions available to regular users**
  * Admins can perform all functions available to regular users within the timesheets they’re associated with.
* **Manage timesheets they’ve been invited to**
  * Admins can manage (create, edit, remove) timesheets they’ve been invited to collaborate on.
* **Review time entries from other users**
  * Admins can review time entries submitted by other users within the timesheets they’re associated with.
* **Invite other people as users or admins**
  * Admins can invite other users or admins to collaborate on the timesheets they’ve created.

{% hint style="info" %}
Modifying a user’s role will apply only to the specific timesheet in question and will not impact their role in any other timesheets.
{% endhint %}

* **Create, edit, and remove periods** \* Admins can create, edit, and remove periods of the timesheets they’re associated with.

### Periods

* Periods offer a comprehensive way to access statistical data regarding timesheet usage by users within a specified timeframe.
