Access, roles and permissions

Our Power-up operates based on three user roles within the board: Admin, Member, and Observer.

Admins possess full access, enabling them to edit and add time for themselves and other members. However, this functionality is exclusive to the Pro plan.
Members have limited access, allowing them to add and edit time solely for themselves.
Both Admins and Members can view time entries for other team members. Meanwhile, the Observer role holds the most restricted access within the board. Users with this role can track their own time but lack access to reports due to Trello's restrictions on installed power-ups.
It's essential to note that reports can display time across multiple boards simultaneously. However, editing time is only feasible for the current board from which the time report was opened. This limitation arises from Trello's technical constraints as we can only verify a user's role based on the open board.

For example:
User 1 is an Admin in Board 1 and Board 3 but a Member in Board 2.
If User 1 opens a Time report from Board 1, where data is gathered from all three boards, they can only edit data for Board 1. Data from Board 2 and Board 3 will remain uneditable since we're unaware of the user's role in these boards. However, if the user opens a report from Board 2, they can only edit time data within Board 2.
