No, by default, a member cannot view the hours logged by their colleagues. Mataee was designed with the privacy by design principle: each user only accesses data that directly concerns them.
What a member can see
A collaborator with the "member" role only has access to:
- Their own time entries: they can view, edit, and delete the hours they themselves have logged.
- The list of projects they are assigned to: they see the project names so they can log time, but not the team's aggregated data.
They cannot in any way see how many hours another collaborator has spent on a project, nor access the supervision dashboards.
Who can see the team's hours?
Only roles with supervision rights have access to data for all collaborators:
- The owner: complete access to all data.
- Administrators: can view all members' hours.
- Supervisors: read access to team hours via the supervision dashboard.
This clear separation of access ensures that sensitive data (time spent, individual productivity) is only visible to authorized persons.
Why this choice?
Time data confidentiality is essential for building trust within the team. When collaborators know their entries are not exposed to everyone, they are more inclined to accurately record their working time.
This principle promotes more reliable data and, consequently, more precise project management. It's a virtuous cycle: trust fosters transparency, which in turn enables better management.
