Troubleshooting tip

A possible reason why worklogs are not viewable is that users do not also have Browse Projects permission (see above).

• This is a legacy role and might not be available in your Tempo Timesheets.
• If this role is available, users in this role no longer automatically have permission to view all worklogs of a project. However, you might have granted users in this role other permissions, which are still valid.

• Browse Team permission (see below) for the team that you lead
• Approve Timesheet permission (see below) for the team that you lead
