Step 4: Provide permission in RBP role for the Time Sheet relevant objects.

Please Navigate to Configure Object Definition -> open each object -> section Security -> Check if Secured is set to 'Yes'.

'Employee Time Sheet'

'Employee Time Sheet Entry'

'Employee Time Valuation Result'

'Allowance'

Please note that these objects are secured by default which means that you can only manage access to these objects with role-based permissions. Furthermore, if any of these objects are secured, users require permissions to these objects to access the Time Sheet UI.

In case you keep it as secured 'Yes', then go to Manage permission roles, section 'Time Management Object Permissions' and enable View/Create/Correct/Adjust Order/Delete for each object.

In case you set Secured to 'No', then please take into consideration the followings:

- You can choose to allow access to non-secured MDF object by navigating to Manage Permission Roles page and assigning permissions for 'Metadata Framework' section by selecting the checkbox against 'Access to non-secured objects'.
- If the user does not assign permissions to allow access to non-secured objects, then they will not be able to access these MDF objects on the UI.
