What each role can see: costs, rates and other people's data
Some data in Toggl is sensitive: billable rates, labor costs, profitability, other people's tracked time, private projects, time off and the audit log. Here is what each default role can and can't see.
Organization Admin
• Can see: everything. Organization Admins are automatically Tool admins in every workspace, so they see everything below. They also see everyone's time off and balances, organization members, SSO settings and the organization audit log.
• Can't see: nothing is hidden from this role.
Tool admin
• Can see: labor cost, all billable rates (workspace, member and project), profitability reports and margin targets, utilization reports and targets, everyone's time in reports, all private projects and tasks, the workspace audit log and timesheet approvals. They can edit all of these.
• Can't see: organization-level settings (members, SSO, time off approvals and balances). Those need Organization Admin.
Manager
• Can see: labor cost, member and project billable rates (and can edit them), the workspace billable rate (view only), profitability reports and margin targets, utilization reports, project estimates and team capacity totals.
• Can't see: other people's tracked time. Reports, including Profitability, show only the Manager's own time entries, unless they are also a Team lead. They also can't see private projects they aren't a member of, the audit log or timesheet approvals, and they can't change the workspace billable rate.
Member
• Can see: their own tracked time, their own billable rate, project estimates and their own time off.
• Can't see: labor cost, anyone else's billable rate, the workspace billable rate, billable amounts or the billable/non-billable split in reports, Profitability or Utilization reports, other people's tracked time, or private projects they aren't a member of.
Time Tracker
• Sees the same sensitive data as a Member, and can't see what a Member can't. The two roles differ in what they can manage, not in what they can see.
Guest
• Can see: only the projects they've been added to, and the tasks in them.
• Can't see: reports, rates, labor cost, profitability or anyone's tracked time.
Roles added on top of a workspace role
• Project manager (set per project): manages that project's members and tasks. It adds no cost, rate or profitability data, and doesn't show other people's hours on the project.
• Team lead (set per team): sees their team members' time in reports, plus the team's capacity and timeline, and approves the team's time off. It adds no cost, rate or profitability data.
Plan note: Labor cost, Profitability and Utilization reports, member rates on projects, and the audit log are available on Premium and Enterprise. On Starter, no role sees them.
