Project Timesheet Access
Grant specific users visibility into project timesheets — without changing their global access role.
Why this app?
✅ Give specific users visibility into project timesheets without granting global access.
✅ Configuration lives directly on the Project form — no separate admin screen needed.
✅ New Project Timesheets menu automatically scoped to the user's granted projects.
✅ Shows each user's global timesheet role alongside their grant, so Managers stay informed.
✅ Export selected timesheet entries as CSV — download directly or send by email.
✅ Works on top of Odoo's default access system — additive, never destructive.
Quick setup
How it looks
Timesheet Access tab on Project
Add users directly on the project form. Their global timesheet role is shown alongside so you know their edit capabilities.
Project Timesheets menu
Granted users see a new menu under Timesheets showing all entries across their accessible projects, grouped by project by default.
Email export & CSV download
Select entries, use Actions → Email Export to download a CSV or send it to one or more email addresses in one click.
Key Features
Per-Project Grants
Configure who can see each project's timesheets directly on the Project form. No global role changes needed.
Role Transparency
Each granted user's global timesheet role is shown in the access tab so managers always know their edit capabilities.
Dedicated Menu
Project Timesheets menu under Timesheets app — auto-filtered to each user's accessible projects with full search and group-by.
CSV Export
Select any rows and export as CSV — download directly to your computer or send to multiple email addresses in one click.
Additive Security
Works entirely on top of Odoo's existing record rules — never reduces existing access, never touches global roles.
SO & Project Ready
Compatible with Sales Orders linked to projects and tasks — works with sale_timesheet out of the box.
FAQ
Does this change users' global timesheet permissions?
No. This module only adds read visibility via an extra record rule. Global edit/create/delete permissions remain determined by the user's Timesheets role in Settings → Users.
Who can configure the Timesheet Access tab?
Only Project Managers (project.group_project_manager). Regular project users see the tab as read-only.
Can a user with "Own Timesheets Only" edit others' entries via this module?
No. This module grants visibility only. A user with "Own Timesheets Only" can view others' entries on granted projects but cannot edit them — that requires the "All Timesheets" or Administrator role.
Does the CSV export work on neutralized/test databases?
The direct CSV download works on any database. The email delivery requires a configured outgoing mail server and will not send on databases with email neutralized (shown by the orange banner).
Is sale_timesheet required?
It is listed as a dependency to support SO-linked projects. If your instance does not use sale_timesheet, remove it from the depends list in __manifest__.py before installing.
