Hello, @dgene84.

 

I’d like to provide you with steps to manage user role permissions for accessing timesheets in QuickBooks Online (QBO).

 

In QuickBooks Online (QBO), we have a Time Tracking role that allows invited users to track their own timesheets. Since you want users to be able to track timesheets for others as well, you can assign them the Standard Limited Customers and Vendors role. This role enables users to view, add, and edit entries and reports related to customers, vendors, products, and services.

 

  1. Go to the Gear icon and select Manage users.
  2. Click on Roles and then Add user.
  3. You’ll be directed to the Role Info section. Then, enter the required information.
  4. From the Roles dropdown, select the Standard limited customers and vendors role.
  5. Once you’ve customized the role, click Send invite.

 

Once they're all set and ready, they can refer to these articles to learn how to track time entries in the program:

 

 

If the user does not receive an email invitation after it’s been sent, please check this article: What to do if invited users did not receive your email invitation in QuickBooks Online.

 

If you have any further questions about adding users or managing access to your books, please don’t hesitate to reach out. We’re here to help!

Sorry this did not answer my complete question. 

 

I am still in need of assistance of how timesheets are done for contractors by those users that the instructions were provided for inviting. Also there is a desire to limit what they can see but have it where they have access to only doing time cards for contractors.

Hello, Dgene84.

 

I recognize the importance of seamless time tracking in QuickBooks Online and I appreciate you for returning here in the Community. Let's work together to fix this matter.

 

Once the invitation is accepted, users can begin tracking time. Here's how:

 

  1. Click on the +New button.
  2. Select Time Entry, Single time activity, or Weekly Timesheet.
  3. Choose a contractor from the list and select a customer.
  4. Begin adding time for the contractor.
  5. Once you're done, click Save.


Moreover, the capability to limit standards user's visibility to only timecards for contractors is unavailable. Currently, users will have broader access within the system and with that, I encourage you to submit feedback, so our team can consider adding this feature in the future updates. To submit feedback, here's how:

 

  1. Go to the Gear icon and then select Feedback.
  2. Type in your feature request in the description box.
  3. Once done, click on Next.


Moreover, you can always run any customer's report so you can manage all transactions. Then customize it to show the specific details. You can refer to this article to know more about the process: Customize Report.

 

Let us know if you have further questions about managing your time tracking. We'll be right here to help you anytime.
