Allow managers to log time for direct reports

Description - My managers cannot log time via the Hours subtab unless granted admin access. I need my managers to be able to log time for their direct reports to ensure we are tracking time to the best of our ability.

 

Why is this feature important to you - I need my managers to be able to log time for their direct reports, especially when sometimes workers are away on shoots. The responsibility is always on the worker but if they are having status meetings and reveal the information why not help them out and allow managers to log on their behalf?

 

How would you like the feature to work - The feature would work identically to those with admin rights to timesheets. When the user goes to the hours subtask on a work object they will see a log time button. From there they can select themselves or anyone that reports to them and log hours for a specific date.

Current Behaviour - I set managers to their own access level and grant them admin rights to timesheets. As you can imagine, this is not ideal since this gives all managers the ability to edit any time logged in even if it is not by someone on their staff. Although the odds are low that someone would abuse this power, I prefer not to open ourselves up to the chance.

This is an obvious need for many. I would extend this to anyone may submit time on behalf of others when having a plan or work license.
