Feature #7239
closed
Allow some users to add / edit time entries on behalf of other users
0%
Description
In our company, some users are not responsible for entering there spent time entries. The project manager does it for them.
There does not seem to be a way now in redmine to add/edit time entries on behalf of other users, but I think this would be a nice feature.
This has also been requested in the following topics :
http://www.redmine.org/boards/2/topics/14973
http://www.redmine.org/boards/1/topics/12158
http://www.redmine.org/boards/1/topics/9885
There is a patch that was once submitted to make this possible, but I believe that it does not work anymore :
#3848
This issue was also reported on the redmine backlog plugin, but I believe it should have been reported here instead :
http://dev.redminebacklogs.net/issues/231
I don't know if this would require much work (sorry, I am not familiar with Ruby at all), but would really like to see this in a future release !

We also need this functionality for some roles. When project members are ill or on holidays and forgot to log their spent times, then we can not set it in the system. But we can change their existing time log entries. Why we should not be able to create new ones on their behalf? We really need this functionality.

That's the function we are missing.
We are wasting so much time trying to pull colleagues and follow up time records.
It is also cumbersome to five people each will record time for a meeting if one can do it for them all five at once.

Just create a new role for the project manager. You can configure rights of
adding/viewing/editing in "roles and permissions".
Duplicates: #6486, #9276
The problem is that it isn't possible to get permissions to add time entries for others, you can only edit.

I've added a new patch which adds this feature to #3848. I'm closing this ticket as duplicate because I don't find any different request here.
