Administrator Requirements

Microsoft 365:

  • Global Administrator or Application Administrator role
  • Active Microsoft 365 subscription
  • Access to Azure Portal

Google Workspace:

  • Super Administrator role
  • Active Google Workspace subscription
  • Access to Google Admin Console

Part 2: Calendar Integration Setup

Microsoft 365 (Outlook) - Organization Setup

  1. Log in to Tizz with your administrator account
  2. Navigate to Tools → Admin Connections
  3. In the Microsoft Outlook section, click Grant Admin Consent
  4. You'll be redirected to Microsoft's consent page
  5. Review the permissions Tizz is requesting:
    • Read your calendars
    • Maintain access to data you've given it access to
    • Sign you in and read your profile
  6. Click Accept to grant permissions for your entire organization
  7. You'll be redirected back to Tizz with a success message

What This Does

  • Grants calendar access permissions to all users in your Microsoft 365 organization
  • Users can connect their Outlook calendars without needing individual admin approval
  • This is a one-time setup per organization

Troubleshooting Microsoft Setup

Error Solution
"You need admin approval to access this resource" Log in with Global Administrator or Application Administrator account
"Admin consent failed" Verify your organization allows third-party apps to access calendars; check IT security policies

Google Workspace - Organization Setup

Step 1: Configure Domain-Wide Delegation

  1. Log in to Tizz with your administrator account
  2. Navigate to Tools → Admin Connections
  3. In the Google Calendar section:
    • Copy the Service Account Email provided
    • Copy the OAuth Scopes listed
  4. Open Google Admin Console (admin.google.com)
  5. Go to Security → API Controls → Domain-wide Delegation
  6. Click Add new
  7. Paste the Service Account Email in the "Client ID" field
  8. Paste the OAuth Scopes in the "OAuth Scopes" field
  9. Click Authorize
  10. Return to Tizz and click Test Connection to verify

What This Does

  • Allows Tizz to access Google Calendars for all users in your domain
  • Users can sync their Google Calendars without individual authorization
  • This is a one-time setup per organization

Troubleshooting Google Setup

Error Solution
"Access denied" when testing Verify Service Account Email was copied correctly; ensure all OAuth scopes match exactly; wait 10-15 minutes for propagation
"Domain-wide delegation not enabled" Contact Google Workspace administrator; verify organization allows domain-wide delegation

Part 3: Rules, Profiles and Autopilot in Your Organization

Rules Belong to Each Person

Each person has their own rules, on the Rules page. They place that person's meetings in Your week, Autopilot and Manual sync, in both the Outlook and Google apps. There are no organization-wide rules: what you can share is a recommended starting set.

  • Every list ends with Everything else, which places the meetings no other rule fits. Recommend a “General” or “To review” project and task for it, or Don't log it.
  • Rules are checked from the top down and the first one that fits wins, so specific rules go above general ones.
  • The user guide (Part 4) explains conditions, task names and the live preview in detail.

A Starting Set to Share

Give your team a short list of rules to create, for example:

Rule When… …then
All-hands meetings the title contains “All Hands” Log to Internal Operations
Client meetings the organizer's email domain is the client's domain Log to that client's project (billable on Premium)
Training the title contains “Training” Log to Professional Development
Personal time the title contains “Lunch”, “Focus time” or “OOO” Don't log it

What Each Plan Includes

FeaturePlan
Rules, Your week, Sent weeks, Undo day / weekEvery plan
Top up each day to the expected hours, Tizz ModelsPro and above
Billable and rounding on rules, rule profiles, Autopilot (Outlook app)Premium and above (included in the trial)

When an organization moves below Premium, rule profiles are kept but only each person's Default rules are used, and Autopilot stops. Both come back with Premium.

Rule Profiles, Autopilot and Sent Weeks

  • Rule profiles (Premium) are also personal: each person can keep several sets of rules and chooses which one reads their calendar. Useful for people who switch between clients or types of work.
  • Autopilot (Premium, Outlook app) sends each person's day at the time they choose, with the rules of the profile that reads their calendar. Days with meetings that need a project are held until the person places them.
  • Sent weeks lists each person's sent weeks, with the rule profile used, and lets them take a whole week back out of Zoho with Undo week. Only time logs Tizz sent are removed.
  • Manual sync, the older screen, is hidden by default. Each person can show it from Settings → Screens. Its hours are not listed in Sent weeks.

"Admin approval required" error Complete admin consent process in Admin Connections

Advanced Calendar Mode Issues

No AI suggestions Ensure "Include AI" toggle is ON; verify events don't match sync rules
Associations not saving Confirm project selected; verify user has permission to log time

Subscription Issues

Problem Solution
Payment declined Verify card details; check bank restrictions; try alternative method
Subscription not updating Wait 5 minutes; refresh browser; log out and back in
Invoice not received Check Billing History; verify email; add donotreply@tizz.app to safe senders; still missing? Write to support@tizz.app

  • Go to Support → Billing Issues
  • Include invoice number and reason
  • Refunds processed within 5-7 business days

Part 10: Administrator FAQ

Q: Do users need admin permissions to sync their calendars?
A: No. Once you've granted admin consent (Microsoft) or configured domain-wide delegation (Google), any user can connect and sync their calendar.

Q: Can I control which projects users log time to?
A: Rules belong to each person, so share a recommended starting set of rules. Which projects a person can log time to is controlled by their Zoho Projects permissions.

Q: Does Autopilot send the same time for everyone?
A: No. Autopilot is turned on by each person (Premium, Outlook app) and sends their own day, with the rules of the rule profile that reads their calendar.

Q: What happens if a user leaves the organization?
A: Remove their seat through Team Members management. Previously logged time entries remain in Zoho Projects.

Q: Can I see what users are logging?
A: Time entries appear in Zoho Projects where you can view by user, project, or date range.

Q: How do I switch from Individual to Organization account?
A: Contact support through the help center. Support team migrates data with no loss. Pro-rated billing adjustments applied.

Q: Can I set different access levels for different users?
A: Yes. User access levels control which features are available. Level 3+ is required for Advanced Calendar Mode.
