PLAN’S USER’S RIGHTS
ANOTHER TIME MAKER POWERFUL FEATURE EXPANDED
PLAN’S USER’S RIGHTS
Plan’s user rights define the rights a user or users has over a plan or part thereof. By default, the system will grant the user rights for a plan or part of a plan based on the user function in the plan however, the plan’s Owner or a senior may grant any of the rights to any user in the system.
The following are the TimeMaker’s Plans user rights:
Owner’s Rights - Owner’s Rights gives full control over the plan and its steps.
Sub Owner’s Rights - Sub Owner’s Rights gives Performer rights to the Plan (Performer can see the plan and perform Date Move request, Clarification request, Reject, Completion Report, Redirect as well as the basic actions - Data Interchange, Query). The Sub Owner’s Rights allow the user to act as Owner on the planss sub items.
Performer’s Rights - At the TimeMaker the Planss Performer is the Owner of all the Plan’s sub items. Performer’s Rights gives the Performer the ability to perform Date Move request, Clarification request, Reject, Completion Report, Redirect as well as the basic actions - Data Interchange, Query. A user with Performer’s Right can not insert, delete, activate or deactivate steps of the plan.
Read Only Rights - Read Only Rights gives the user the ability to only see the plan and its steps with no other rights.
Limited info Rights - Limited info Rights gives the user the ability to see the Plan’s subject only. The user will not see the Plan’s body and will not see the Plan’s steps.
Inherited Right - Inherited Rights is a kind of ‘restore default rights’ right. When selecting this right the user will be assigned the rights based on his function at the plan and its steps - the Owner will get Owner’s Right and the Performers will inherent the Performer’s Rights.
The following table describe each right and its inherent ability:

User Plan Limits:
When setting up a user in TimeMaker the users Plans Limits are defined. Those rights defines per plan level (Strategy, Tactical, Operational, Mini Operational) if the user can Create, Activate, Deactivate, Delete and Add items to the plan.
The plan limits override the User Rights rights so if a user is defined in the Plan Limits to not have rights to activate a Strategy and if he is the Owner of the strategy the user will not be able to activate that or any other strategy.
Definitions:
Activation - The action of turning a plan or plan’s steps active and active means, sent to the Performer for action. The item will appear in the Performer’s Inbox as well as in his TM Matrix.
Deactivated item - An item (Production Task, Command or Meeting) that was activated in the past and the activation was canceled. Deactivated items are items that where previously activated and where withdrawn from their Owner’s and Performer’s list of active tasks and hence do not show in their Inboxes
Deactivated Plans may contain active Plan’s steps.
Despite the fact the items has been deactivated the system keeps the Start Date and Target Date validation process in full force so the items are ready to be activated.
Canceled item - A canceled item is an item that has been deactivated and that the system do not keeps the Start Date and Target Date validation process in full force. The item is similar to a deleted item but still showing in the plan for reference purposes.
A Canceled item may not contain activated or deactivated sub items.
A Canceled item may contain completed, deleted or canceled sub items.
The system do not perform any validation checks on Canceled items.
