Issue/Introduction

A user is receiving timesheet notifications for all resources.

When looking at the process definition and the step where the notification is being sent, we can see the notification goes to the Editors Object Role.

How do these Object roles work regarding the timesheet notifications? 

Environment

Any Clarity release

Resolution

The notifications to the Object Roles work on the following way:

• Resource: Owner of the timesheet. (Resource who the timesheet belongs to)
• Submitter: Resource who submitted the timesheet for approval
• Resource Manager: Resource Manager of the resource whose timesheet has been submitted
• Approvers: Resources with access to approve the submitted timesheet.
• Editors: Resources with access rights to edit timesheets 
• Project Managers: Project managers of the project the resource has submitted time against

In this specific case, the user who is receiving notifications has the Timesheet - Edit - All access right

Review the process definition to understand if the process logic needs to be changed or user's access rights need to be amended
