Time tracking owner check precondition
3 answers
This configuration enables only the owner of the Work Item to enter time tracking data
So if a user adds time tracking data (see formal process template) it makes sure that only the owner of the work item can do that. Rationale is that typically only the owner should work against a work item and the planning component will not be able to track planning and progress if several people work against one work item.

Where would I find this? I don't see any such precondition on any of the Operation Behaviour entries in my project, yet I still get an error dialog "You must be the owner of the work item to add the time tracking entries" when I click Add Time entry in the desktop client.
Our workflow includes a code review Approval for changes; I'd like the Approver (reviewer) to be able to log the time they spend doing it to the work item, without having to switch the Owner back & forth between them and the developer working on it. We can't even let the developer (as Owner) input the reviewer's time, as the Add Time entry dialog doesn't include a field for the user...

system, and is not a controllable permission. I've submitted work item
193545 to provide such a permission. You should feel free to add a
comment indicating your interest/support.
Cheers,

Thanks Geoffrey for this information.
What is the work around you can provide to be able adding timesheet entries by each user?
