Permissions
TrueGrade gives each person access to what their job needs. As a field user, your access is focused on capturing your own field work — your time, your reports, your notes — and on seeing the field information you need to do the job.
What You Can Do
- Log your own time. Create, edit (while it’s a draft), and submit your own timesheets.
- File your own daily reports. Create, edit your drafts, submit, and attach photos to your own daily reports.
- Capture your own project notes. Create, edit, remove, and add photos to your own project notes.
- Use the Field Board. Create field issues so things get tracked.
- View and annotate drawings for your projects.
What’s Kept to Other Roles
Some actions belong to supervisors, project managers, and admins — not because your work is any less important, but to keep approvals and sensitive data in the right hands:
- Approving timesheets, and verifying or closing field-board issues
- Seeing everyone’s reports, notes, and timesheets across a project
- Office and admin areas — billing, user management, estimates and budgets, compliance verification, and procurement
If you open a screen and find it’s read-only or not listed in your menu, that’s expected — it’s handled by another role.
Who Can See What You Submit
Your own submissions are private to you and the people who oversee the project:
| Your entry | You can see | Your project’s managers & admins can see |
|---|---|---|
| Your drafts | ✓ | — |
| Your submitted timesheets | ✓ | ✓ |
| Your submitted daily reports | ✓ | ✓ |
| Your project notes | ✓ | ✓ |
Other field users cannot see your reports or notes, and you can’t see theirs — everyone’s own field entries stay their own.
“Own-scoped” is the key idea: as a field user, you see and edit your own timesheets, reports, and notes. Managers and admins see across the whole project so they can run the job.
If You Need More Access
Roles are set by your organization’s admins. If your job has changed and you need to do more in TrueGrade — for example, review other people’s time — ask an admin to update your role. See Roles & Permissions for the full breakdown.
A role change takes effect the next time you load a page. If a new screen doesn’t appear right away, refresh or reopen the app.
