Tempo Timesheets 8.1.0

Important before you upgrade Tempo Timesheets from version 7.x.x to 8.x.x

  • The installation of Tempo Timesheets takes longer than usual because of data migration so you might want to upgrade outside of office hours.
  • Data might be lost if you downgrade to an earlier version after you upgrade Tempo Timesheets from version 7.x.x to version 8.x.x or later.

User permissions change between Tempo Timesheets 8.0 and 8.1

When you upgrade Tempo Timesheets to version 8.1.0, some Tempo permissions change to Jira permissions.

Effects of the changes

  • During the upgrade process, some Tempo permissions that your Jira users have, migrate automatically to Jira permissions.
  • Other Tempo permissions that your Jira users have might require you to prepare your old version of Tempo Timesheets so that the permissions migrate smoothly.
  • After the upgrade, Tempo Timesheets might become available for use by more Jira users in your organization.

Before the upgrade, the permission to view all worklogs for a project was granted to users who had a specified project role.

Also, users who had Approve Timesheet permission for a team could see all worklogs of team members.

After the upgrade, only users who were in the role to view project worklogs, automatically have the new View All Worklogs permission. Approve Timesheet permission is no longer sufficient to see the worklogs of team members.

Button for adding default members of a project role to all existing projects

In Jira, you can specify default users or groups for a project role so that, when you create a new project, those users or groups are automatically granted the role in the project.

Before the upgrade, Tempo Timesheets included a button to quickly grant those users or groups the role also in all existing projects.

After the upgrade, this button is not available.
