by Intuit Updated 4 days ago

Learn about QuickBooks Time team members settings and permissions. Some permissions can be set company-wide from Company Settings, but the following can be found in individual team member permissions in Team Member Details in My Team.

Notes:

  • Only account administrators and managers can adjust permissions for a team member.
  • When a team member is made a manager in QuickBooks Time, they can adjust permissions for their group or crew only.


Settings

To access Team Member Details, go to My Team, and select a team member.

  • General: Name, access, kiosk PIN (4 numeric digits), time zone, pay information (visible for admins only), group assignment, and contact information.
  • Permissions: User type and what a team member can see and manage. See below for more detailed information.
  • Customers: Assign or unassign parent and child customers that a team member can clock in or out of. 
  • Custom Fields: Select the link under Items to assign specific items in each custom field
    • If a team member is assigned a required custom field and is assigned 0 custom field items, they won’t be able  to clock out or edit timesheets where that custom field displays.
  • Time Off: Types of time off that a team member can submit.
    • To set up unique time off accruals for a team member, select the link under Accruals, make the desired edits, and select Apply.

Permissions

Default user types

There are four default user types that determine permission levels. After selecting a user type, adjust individual permissions as necessary.

  • Payroll Manager: View timesheet reports for all team members and approve timesheets for all team members are default permissions. 
  • Custom: All permissions are optional except Account Management.
    • To View timesheet reports for all team members, Approve/reject timesheets for all team members must be checked. 
  • Worker: All permissions are optional other than the ones that are crossed off.
