Why might a team member's name not appear in the staff list when entering time for a project?

A team member's name may not appear in the staff list when entering time for a project primarily because they do not have the correct user role assigned within Xero Projects. In order to track time against projects, each user needs to have an appropriate role that allows them to participate actively. If a team member lacks the Xero Projects user role, they will not be recognized as eligible to log time for projects, hence their name will not be displayed in the staff list.

This situation is critical as user roles dictate permissions and accessibility in project management environments. Therefore, for any team member to contribute to time entries, proper role assignment is essential. This highlights the importance of role management in maintaining effective project tracking and resource allocation within Xero Projects.
