### **How does EasyTime record time?**

EasyTime records time whenever a user [views](https://techtime-website.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/EasyTime/pages/4883003), comments on, or resolves an issue on Jira. Then EasyTime creates work logs with [distinct messages](https://techtime-website.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/EasyTime/pages/5046769) so the resulting timesheets accurately reflect the reality of what the user was doing. 

### **What does EasyTime need to have access to in order to record time?**

EasyTime needs access to certain permissions in Jira to automatically record and store time spent on your Jira issues:

**Browse Projects** - Lets EasyTime browse projects, use the Issue Navigator, and view individual issues (except issues that have been restricted via issue security). This is a key permission that's required as many other permissions are dependent on this one as EasyTime can't record time for issues that it doesn't have access to.

**Delete All Worklogs** - Lets EasyTime remove automatically created worklogs when a manually created one is placed on top of it for all users.

**Delete Own Worklogs** - Lets you delete your own worklog.

**Edit All Worklogs** -  Lets EasyTime extend/combine worklogs for any user. 

**Edit Own Worklogs** - Lets you extend/combine your own worklogs.

**Work On Issues** - Lets EasyTime create worklogs.

EasyTime for Jira Cloud has a feature to automatically verify that it has the correct permission to log time: [Automatic Permission Scheme Validation](https://techtime-website.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/EasyTime/pages/5046785)
