Task List Permissions

There are four permissions that a user can be assigned when they are added to a Single-Use Task List or a Task List Template:

  • Manager

  • Activator

  • Assignee

  • Watcher

Example user task list permissions checkboxes.

These four permissions are both user/role-level and task list template permissions. When a task list is activated, Activators, Assignees, and Watchers will receive a push notification on their mobile device.

Manager Permission

Users with the Task List Manager permission are given the ability to create new single-use task lists and task list templates. When a user is added to a task list template as a Manager, they will have access to view and edit the template.

Activator Permission

Users with the Task List Activator permission will be able to activate single-use task lists as well as task list templates. When a user is added to a task list template as an Activator, they will be given view-only access with the ability to activate the templates that they are added to. These users will also be able to monitor the completion of the activated task lists they are added to.

Assignee Permission

Users with the Task List Assignee permission will not be able to create or view task list templates or single-use task lists. When an Assignee is added to a task list, they will be able to complete, skip, or comment on the tasks within.

Watcher Permission

Users with Task List Watcher permission will not be able to create task list templates or single-use task lists. When a Watcher is added to a task list, they will monitor completion and view individual tasks' status and comments.
