This module extends the standard timesheet approver rules so that a user with the group User: all timesheets can also manage the timesheets of their subordinate employees (i.e. employees whose Manager field points to the approver).
It updates the timesheet_line_rule_approver record rule to include
the clause
('employee_id.parent_id.user_id', 'in', (False, user.id)).
Table of contents
To use this module:
- Go to Employees and open the employee you want to set as a manager.
- In the Work Information tab, under Employee, set the Timesheet Responsible or ensure the Manager field points to the approver user.
- Assign the Timesheets / User: all timesheets group to the manager user (Settings → Users & Companies → Users → Timesheets section).
- Log in as the manager user.
- Go to Timesheets.
- You will now see, edit and delete timesheets for employees who report to you, even on projects with Invited employees privacy. Also you can create but only in the projects where the user has access.
Important: Without this module, a timesheet approver can only manage timesheets on projects where they are a follower. With this module, the approver also gains access to their subordinates' timesheets regardless of project visibility.
