Manage User Permissions

How to manage user permissions in the system.

Control what your team members can access and do in MinuteDock by managing their permissions. You can give Users specific capabilities like creating invoices or managing Contacts, while restricting access to sensitive information.

Understanding permission types

MinuteDock has one main Admin permission that grants full access, plus several specific permissions that can be assigned individually.

How to edit User permissions

  1. Click "Account" in the top navigation bar

  2. Find the User you want to modify on the Team screen

  3. Click "Edit" next to their name

  4. Select or deselect permissions as needed

  5. Click "Update" to save your changes

How to restrict Contact access

You can limit which Contacts a User can see and work with. When you restrict Contacts, Users also lose access to Projects under those Contacts.

  1. Click "Account" in the top navigation bar

  2. Click "Edit" next to the User you want to restrict

  3. Under "Allowed Contacts" select which Contacts the User can access

  4. Click "Update" to save your changes

Make a User a manager of specific Users or Roles

🟔 Attention: Manages other users is an opt-in beta feature. Email team@minutedock.com to enable it on your Account.

With this feature enabled, you can let a User oversee part of your team — reporting on, editing, and approving their time — without making them an Admin.

  1. Click "Account" in the top navigation bar

  2. Click "Edit" next to the User you want to make a manager

  3. Turn on "Manages other users"

  4. Select the Users and Roles they should manage (you can choose any mix)

  5. Click "Update" to save your changes

The User can now report on and edit time for the people you selected. They can also approve that time if the time-approval workflow is enabled on your Account. For how this setting interacts with billing rates, Allowed Contacts, and the account-wide time permissions, see User Permissions.
