Old Hubstaff Roles and Permissions Guide

Following this Hubstaff permissions guide, you can assign different roles to various team members to designate the level of access allowed for each team member within your organization. Read on to find out what features are available to each team member’s role. Should you need to change a role, refer to the article here.

Organization Owner

Organization owners have full control over the entire organization. They can add and remove new members, select a plan, add and remove integrations, configure payroll, set budgets, and edit the organization settings. If you want a user to have complete control over the organization, you would make them an organization owner (Full Admin access) which is the only role that has access to see all the pay rates and bill rates of all the users in the organization.

Organization Manager

Managers on an organization level are able to invite new team members, create projects, add and remove users from projects, and view all time tracked and activities (screenshots, activity levels, and apps & URLs). Managers also have access to change the organization settings.
Please note: Managers can see their own pay rates, but not the pay rates of other users, unless enabled by the organization owner.

User

The user is your worker. They can only see their own time data. They aren’t able to see other users on the organization’s details or pay rates, and they aren’t able to see projects that they aren’t members of. Users can see their own pay rates, but not the pay rates of other users.

Project Viewer

This is the access given to clients that are added to the organization. They can view reports for any projects they are added to. They are not allowed to track time or manage settings. Viewers are free.

Project Manager

Managers on the project level can manage, track, and view reports for any projects they are added to. They can also see the information of the users under that project where they have a manager role. Project Managers can see their own pay rates, but not the pay rates of other users.

Team Lead

This role is only available within the Teams feature. This provides a team’s team leader specific access permissions depending on what features are activated for that user. Team leads also have project access when the project is added to the specific team.
