The Team Lead role is designed for users who need to manage specific teams without receiving full Manager or Administrator access across the whole system.
A Team Lead can access and manage data for the teams they are assigned to lead. This includes access to Timesheets for their managed teams, as well as the ability to approve Timesheets and Events for those teams.
Team Leads can also access the Users tab in the Configuration section, where they can view, modify, and add user details such as Capacity, Position, and Skills/Tags for users within their managed teams.
Managing Team Leads
The Team Leads page is available under Configuration → Teams.
This page shows teams that already have an assigned Team Lead. It includes information about the Team Lead’s name, position, and the team they manage.
To view teams that do not have an assigned Team Lead, enable the switch Show Teams without a Team Lead. This view helps you quickly identify teams that still need a Team Lead assigned.
To assign a Team Lead to a team, click Assign a Manager or click the team name. You will be redirected to the Edit Team page, where you can select the user who should manage this team.
Once a Team Lead is assigned, the team appears in the list of teams with assigned Team Leads.
Allowing Team Leads to Manage Team Members
By default, Team Leads do not necessarily have permission to add or remove users from their teams.
If needed, you can allow this under:
Configuration → Advanced Settings → Allow Team leads to manage users in their teams
Please use this setting carefully. If enabled, users with the Team Lead or Power Team Lead role will be able to add or remove users from the teams they manage. As a result, they may also gain access to those users’ schedules and worklogs within the scope of the managed team.
