PRD — Timesheet Self-Approval Defaults

Problem

Alga PSA serves small MSP owners and operators who often enter and approve their own time. Current timesheet approval paths block self-approval unconditionally, even when no premium ABAC policy has been configured. This makes the default product behavior too restrictive.

Goal

Allow any user with the standard timesheet:approve permission to approve their own submitted time by default. Preserve the existing premium ABAC not_self_approver constraint so tenants that explicitly configure separation-of-duties policies can still block self-approval.

Non-goals

  • Do not change billing/quote self-approval behavior.
  • Do not broaden approval of other users' time beyond existing RBAC/read_all/manager rules.
  • Do not add new UI or settings.

Requirements

  1. Server-action timesheet approval allows self-approval when the actor has timesheet:approve and no assigned active ABAC bundle rule blocks it.
  2. Workflow time approval allows self-approval under the same default rule while retaining an independent shared-code check for configured not_self_approver bundle rules.
  3. Active, published, assigned authorization bundles with resourceType=time_entry, action=approve, and constraintKey=not_self_approver still deny self-approval.
  4. The authorization bundle simulator reflects the same policy: no built-in timesheet self-approval denial, with denial coming from configured bundle constraints only.
  5. Approval of another user's time remains governed by the existing timesheet:approve plus timesheet:read_all or manager relationship rules.

Acceptance Criteria

  • A user with timesheet:approve can approve their own timesheet by default.
  • A configured not_self_approver ABAC bundle denies the same self-approval attempt.
  • Existing non-self approval authorization behavior is unchanged.
