In timeghost, different roles have varying levels of permissions. The Supervisor role differs from Admins and regular users (Non-Admins) by having specific rights, particularly related to team and user management. Below are the key differences:

1. Administrators (Admins)

Admins have the most comprehensive permissions in a workspace. They can:

  • Manage global settings (e.g., which times are tracked, notifications, automations).

  • Manage users and licenses (invite/remove users, assign roles). 

  • Manage projects, clients, and tags (create, edit, delete). 

  • View team activities and profitability reports for the entire workspace. 

  • Configure notification settings and rule violations centrally. 

  • Perform data exports and generate reports for the entire workspace.


In short: Admins have full control over the workspace.


2. Supervisors

The Supervisor role is designed for individuals responsible for specific employees but who do not need full Admin rights. Their key permissions include:

  • Viewing time entries and activities of assigned employees.

  • Managing rule violation notifications (e.g., live or summary reports about violations of assigned employees).

  • Editing time entries of assigned employees

  • Limited visibility within the workspace: Supervisors can only see data for their assigned employees, not the entire workspace.


In short: Supervisors have limited but targeted insight into the activities of their assigned employees.


3. Regular Users (Non-Admins)

Regular users have the least permissions and can:


  • Manage only their own times and activities.

  • Log project times and/or work times (depending on workspace settings).

  • Edit and delete their own entries (if allowed).

  • View only public or assigned projects.

In short: Regular users can only access their own data and projects that are shared with them.


Conclusion

  • Admins control the entire workspace. 

  • Supervisors have targeted insight into the activities of their assigned employees. 

  • Regular users manage only their own times and projects.
