Description

Hi all,

A feature suggestion from me:

Problem

To assign someone a task today, I must add them to the whole project, which exposes unrelated tasks and data.

Proposal

Enable task-level sharing/assignment so a user can be invited to one task only. You could do this on a "Share Task" type approach (similar to say, Google Drive) with roles such as:

  • Viewer: read task details.
  • Contributor: comment, upload attachments, update checklists/subtasks, change status.
  • Manager: edit core fields (title, description, labels, due dates, assignees) — for this task only.

Or just share with who the task is "assigned to".

Use cases

  • One-off collaboration with another team (e.g., legal review).
  • Privacy-sensitive projects needing least-privilege access.

Which alternatives did you consider using instead?
