Project Access Type specifies who can view, create, or edit tasks within the project. It ensures the level of visibility and control by allowing projects to be set as Open, Private, or Limited, depending on the project requirements. These project-level access settings help businesses to manage information, tasks, and collaboration with transparency. You can manage the Project Access Type from the Main menu.
1. Select the Project. Go to the More Options.
2. Navigate to Project Access. You can select one of the three options from the drop-down.
Here you can customise the project access settings for a specific project. You have three ways in which you can manage access to the project.
-
Open Project: An Open Project is accessible to everyone and allows them to view, create, or edit tasks freely. It’s easy for teams and members to share all the updates, ensuring progress and task visibility across the project.
-
Private Project: A Private Project is accessible only to admins and selected members for the project. Only selected members can view, create or edit tasks in the project. This is suitable for restricting everyone from viewing the sensitive information, limiting risks ensuring only authorised members can contribute to the project.
-
Limited Project: A Limited Project is accessible to all users to view and comment on the tasks, but restricts creating or editing tasks in the project. It maintains control and feedback over managing and modifying the project tasks.
