Tempo Timesheets 8.1.0
Important before you upgrade Tempo Timesheets from version 7.x.x to 8.x.x
The installation of Tempo Timesheets takes longer than usual because of data migration so you might want to upgrade outside of office hours.
Data might be lost if you downgrade to an earlier version after you upgrade Tempo Timesheets from version 7.x.x to version 8.x.x or later.
User permissions change between Tempo Timesheets 8.0 and 8.1
When you upgrade Tempo Timesheets to version 8.1.0, some Tempo permissions change to Jira permissions.
Effects of the changes
During the upgrade process, some Tempo permissions that your Jira users have, migrate automatically to Jira permissions.
Other Tempo permissions that your Jira users have might require you to prepare your old version of Tempo Timesheets so that the permissions migrate smoothly.
After the upgrade, Tempo Timesheets might become available for use by more Jira users in your organization.
Which permissions change?
The following table explains which permissions change:
