Workspace configuration settings
The Configuration page holds two workspace-wide rules: who may assign tasks, and how far back people may log time. Both are switches that save the moment you change them, and both need the Business plan.
At a glance
| What it is | Two workspace rules that apply to every project |
| Where to find it | Avatar > Settings > System & Integrations > Configuration |
| Who can use it | Owners and Admins |
| Plan | Business. Without it you see “Business Plan Required” and Upgrade Plan. |
Options
| Option | What it does | Choices and default |
|---|---|---|
| Restrict task assignment to Admins and Team Leads | Only Admins and Team Leads can create and assign tasks across all projects. Members only see tasks assigned to them. | On or off. Project-level settings override it. |
| Limit how far back time can be logged | Stops people logging time older than a set number of days. | On sets 7 days; off sets 0 (no limit). |
| Maximum days a time log can be backdated | The cutoff in days. | Whole number from 1 to 365. Saves when you leave the field or press Enter. |
What does the time limit affect?
The limit applies to everyone, including Owners and Admins. Timers that are already running and logs that were imported are not affected, and existing time logs are never changed.
Best practices
- Choose a backdating window that matches your timesheet cycle, because it applies to Owners and Admins too.
- Check project-level settings when assignment seems wrong, since they override the workspace switch.
- Announce the change first, as Members lose the ability to see tasks not assigned to them.
