Permission management in ActivityTimeline is done through User Roles which are separate from Jira permission schemes and govern visibility and actions of the users of ActivityTimeline.

There are 2 ‘Power roles’: Admin & Manager that allow to create and manage teams, generate reports and timesheets and assign/approve vacations/sick leaves, etc. and 3 ‘Employee’ roles that are assigned to majority the users in the organisation.
