Who sees what? How to manage access rights in Fritto

Not everyone on the team needs to see everything – and that’s a good thing. In Fritto, you give each person exactly the access they need to do their job. Here’s how it works and which role fits whom.

Five roles for every area

Whether it’s accounting, project management, or executive leadership – Fritto maps different responsibilities to five roles that build on each other: each role extends the previous one, so those with more responsibility automatically get more capabilities.

Employee – for everyone who tracks time
Employees can view and log their own working hours – nothing more. Perfect for anyone who simply wants to document their workday without worrying about the rest.

Reviewer – for everyone who oversees a team
Those who need to keep track of a team benefit most here: they can log time on behalf of others, review submitted timesheets, and view reports across the entire team – without having to manage everything themselves.

Manager – for everyone who runs projects
Project managers and team leads who coordinate day-to-day operations have everything they need: approve or reject timesheets, lock completed periods, and full access to projects, clients, and employee groups. Control stays exactly where it belongs.

Department Manager – for everyone responsible for budgets
Those leading not just a team but an entire department often carry responsibility for costs and headcount too. On top of all Manager features, this role adds access to employee costs and user management – practical for anyone who needs to keep staffing under control.

Administrator – for everyone who sets up the system
The role for those who configure and maintain Fritto for the entire organization. Administrators manage roles, adjust settings, and have access to the full audit history.

Creating custom roles

No two organizations are alike – and sometimes the predefined roles don’t quite fit your daily reality. That’s why Fritto lets you create your own roles, tailored exactly to the tasks someone actually handles.

A good rule of thumb: less is often more. Start with the minimum access needed and expand from there. Anyone who gets edit rights automatically gets read rights too – no extra steps required. And for sensitive information like employee costs, it’s worth being deliberate about who gets access.

Real-world example: HR / People Manager – responsible for personnel administration and team structure. This role can view reports and review timesheets to monitor workload and attendance. It has access to user management and employee groups, but no access to projects, clients, employee costs, or system configuration.

Conclusion

The predefined roles cover most scenarios – but the real advantage lies in flexibility: by freely combining individual permissions, Fritto can map virtually any role your organization needs. Whoever needs access to specific data gets exactly that – nothing more, nothing less.

Fritto adapts to the way you work – not the other way around.
