Users can only track and view time entries for the projects they are assigned to. Project managers can track time and project progress, as well as view and edit their own and members' time entries only in the projects they manage. Account managers have project managers' permissions, and on top of that, they can invite team members, manage projects, generate detailed reports and configure the account settings.

A newly invited member is by default assigned the role of a user. The project manager role is an automated role, which means that when a user is marked as a project manager in a project, their role is updated as project manager. If the project manager's marks are removed from all the projects, their role is updated as a user. You can mark users on the Create/Edit Projects pages or the member's Projects Page.
