Administration overview

For admins

This section covers the organisation-wide setup of ChronoTab that only org admins can change: the people in your organisation and their roles, your clients, the GitHub repositories ChronoTab tracks, organisation settings, reminders and Slack, activity types, organisation API keys and the audit log.

Every page in this section is for org admins. If you are a member or a manager, ask an org admin to make the change for you — the controls are not shown to you, and ChronoTab refuses the request if it reaches the server anyway.

The Team page is also admin-only. It lives in the Analyse group in the app rather than here, and is documented in Team completeness.

In this section

• Members and roles — add people, give them a role and disable access when someone leaves.
• Clients — create the clients you send timesheets to, and tag repositories to them.
• Repositories — see and choose which GitHub repositories ChronoTab tracks.
• Organisation settings — the organisation’s name, timezone, branding, timesheet rounding and the danger zone.
• Plans and billing — what each plan includes, how limits count, and where to find billing.
• Upgrade, switch or cancel your plan — the checkout, what a change does and when it takes effect, and undoing a change.
• Payments, invoices and refunds — managing your card and invoices, failed payments and the refund policy.
• When a repository is paused — the 14-day window, keeping and resuming repositories.
• Seats over the limit — who keeps a seat when the team is over its seat limit, bringing people back, and adding members when the seats are full.
• Branding on the Free plan — why branding is locked on Free and what a Free timesheet shows.
• Choose a plan at sign-up — the choices made when you set up an organisation.
• Reminders — remind members about missing time and managers about timesheets waiting, by email and Slack.
• Slack — connect Slack so reminders also arrive as direct messages, and how members are matched.
• Activity types — the kinds of work people log time against, the default type and the /spend keys.
• Organisation API keys — find people’s keys on Members, reissue and revoke them, and rotate them safely.
• Audit log — review the admin and manager actions taken in your organisation.
• Delete your organisation — lock and permanently delete the organisation, with a 30-day window to cancel.
• Create another organisation — set up a second organisation from Settings.

Who can do what

ChronoTab has three organisation roles: Member, Manager and Admin. What each role may see and do is listed in full on Roles and permissions; the pages in this section name the role they apply to at the top.
