Permissions for Time Categories
Background Context
I work in a professional services firm, and we bill our time to customers. Our "billable" tasks often have time entries that need to be marked as non-billable for various reasons, such as budget overage, rework, etc. In Wrike, time is marked as billable/non-billable at the task level, and the billable status on individual time entries cannot be changed. We use the Time Category functionality to flag individual time entries as non-billable where applicable.
Pain Point
We only want the project managers to be able to mark time entries as non-billable, not the consultants working on the projects. There does not seem to be a permission that limits who can modify time categories on a time entry. This is causing issues where consultants incorrectly mark time as non-billable, which leads to revenue loss because we do not invoice non-billable time entries.
Recommendation
Add a permission to access roles that allows us to select which roles can and cannot modify time categories.
Thank you!!
Something similar would be useful for us as well. Various departments within our team use specific time categories. Those categories should not be used by other departments. Right now, if someone accidentally selects the wrong time category, they must edit their time entry. It would be helpful if they couldn't accidentally select the wrong category in the first place. Permissions for time categories would help with this.
