Security

Click the Lookup button to select a security level for the task, section, or tab. You can select one of the following security levels:

  • Default - Inherit the default security level for the tab or section in which the task is included. This option is selected by default. If this option is selected for a tab and a task on the tab (or a task on a section on the tab), all users can view the task, but only users from an assigned team can update the task.

  • Hide - Hide the task from all users except for users from an assigned team.

  • Update - Allow all users to view and update the task.

  • View - Allow all users to view the task, but only allow users from an assigned team to update the task.
