Team primitives

Members, Roles, Time, and Capacity.

Members

Your team in one view

Every person who works on projects in your organization lives in the Members view. You see their role, the projects they are active on, their capacity this week, and their last activity. Adding a new team member takes under 2 minutes: invite by email, assign role, add to projects. No separate HR tool, no CSV import.

  • Full team roster with role and capacity at a glance
  • Per-member project list and active task count
  • Email invite with instant workspace access
  • Profile with bio, contact info, and role history
  • Activity timeline per member

Roles

Four role types with clear permission boundaries

SyncHq has four roles: Admin, Member, Contractor, and Client Guest. Admins manage the workspace, billing, and all projects. Members see every project they are assigned to. Contractors see only their tasks - not team threads, project financials, or other contractors. Client Guests access only the client portal for their project.

  • Admin - full workspace access including billing and settings
  • Member - assigned projects, team threads, and all tasks
  • Contractor - only their own tasks and relevant conversations
  • Client Guest - client portal only, no internal workspace access
  • Role changes take effect immediately

Time Tracking

Hours logged per task, rolled up to project

Team members log hours directly on tasks. Time entries carry a date, duration, and optional note. Hours roll up to the project total and feed into billing calculations automatically. There is no separate time-tracking tool to switch between - time is captured where the work happens, attached to the task it belongs to.

  • Log time directly on any task in the project
  • Date, duration, and note per entry
  • Hours roll up to project totals in real time
  • Time feeds into billing calculations automatically
  • Export time logs per project for client reporting

Capacity

Team workload visible at the week level

The capacity view shows how many hours each team member has allocated this week across all their active projects, compared to their available capacity. Over-allocated members are flagged. You see at a glance who can take on more work and who is at risk of burning out. Capacity is calculated from task estimates and logged hours - not manually entered.

  • Weekly capacity view for each team member
  • Over-allocation flagged automatically
  • Capacity derived from task estimates and hours logged
  • Filter by project to see per-project loading
  • Reassign tasks to balance load directly from capacity view

How it works

One workspace. Every person in their place.

01

Invite with one email

Enter an email address, assign a role, and select which projects to add them to. The invite lands in seconds. Your new team member or contractor has immediate access to exactly what their role allows.

02

Work is visible where it belongs

Contractors see their tasks and nothing else. Clients see their portal. Members see the full workspace. Nobody gets overwhelmed with irrelevant context - or misses context they should have.

03

Time flows into billing

As team members log hours on tasks, that time accumulates in the project. When billing runs, the hours are already calculated. No separate time export, no manual reconciliation.
