At Orangescrum, we constantly evolve based on customer feedback to make project collaboration smarter, smoother, and more controlled. One of the most recent updates to Orangescrum Cloud brings a subtle but powerful improvement — admins can now decide whether users are allowed to edit the timezone.
This gives teams the flexibility they need while maintaining control and consistency across distributed work environments.
Why We Introduced Timezone Permission Control
Until now, every user could freely change their timezone from their profile settings. While this worked well for most remote teams, some organizations raised a valid concern — inconsistent time settings could lead to mismatched task timelines, time logs, or reports, especially in tightly monitored projects.
Admins needed more control to ensure:
Team members in the same region follow a unified timezone.
Reports and time logs remain consistent across departments.
Task updates, deadlines, and activity timestamps align accurately with business hours.
To address this, we introduced a new permission setting called “Edit Timezone” under User Role Management.
This enhancement empowers admins to decide who can or cannot modify their timezone, maintaining both flexibility and administrative oversight.
