Enable permissions to manually edit time tracking field

I would like to be able to disable manual edits to the time tracking custom field at the user or project level, possibly by leveraging project permissions, meaning that general users (or ‘members’) would only be able to track their time using the timer. Edits/corrections would still be able to be made by admins.

Use case: we have a number of employees that are incorrectly logging their time spent working on tasks, which we were only able to uncover when someone admitted to it / upon looking more closely to the task edit log. This is affecting our efficiency reporting metrics and resourcing forecasts.

Thank you for your consideration!

It would be very helpful to have an admin or project-level setting that locks time logging to the built-in timer only, preventing team members from manually adding or editing time entries. This would help teams that need accurate, real-time time tracking for billing or accountability purposes — ensuring time is only recorded through the timer, not entered retroactively. Currently there is no way to enforce this, even as an admin. Please consider adding this as a permission or project-level toggle.
