Users
A user is a person who signs in to your Crewsum account: an administrator who manages the account, or an associate who logs time.
What a User Has
Section titled “What a User Has”The user editor has these tabs:
- General: username, display name, email, and System Role. See Roles and Permissions.
- Assignments: the projects and tasks the user can log time to, and the user’s Supplier and Supplier Contacts. See Assignments and Suppliers.
- Associations: shown when the user is linked to an internal contact. Lists the projects the user is associated with as a reviewer.
- Groups: the user groups the user belongs to.
- Employment Dates: an optional start and end date (
startDate,endDate). In time entry, the user cannot enter time on days outside these dates. - Custom Fields: your own fields for the user.
Users also have an optional preferred time zone (preferredTimezone).
User IDs
Section titled “User IDs”Each user has an external user ID, which is used in API payloads and URLs. Timesheet IDs include this ID.
Internal Contacts
Section titled “Internal Contacts”A user can be linked to an internal contact. The user can then be associated with projects and review time for those projects on the Review Timesheets page. See Reviewing Time.
Archiving and Deleting
Section titled “Archiving and Deleting”- Archiving a user disables their sign-in. Their records stay in place, and they still count as a seat.
- Deleting a user removes their assignments, their profile, and their sign-in permanently, and frees their seat.
- The Tenant Admin cannot be deleted.
Creating or updating a user can also replace their user group memberships.
Every user except the Tenant Admin counts as a seat, including archived users.
