Description

I'm currently exploring Vikunja as an alternative to Trello in our company. There are a lot of things I like about it, especially the simplicity and speed of operation. I'm working in a company of non-technical people and so I need to find a really easy to use Project/Task-Manager with better permission management than Trello.
Vikunja is currently the best alternative I've found but I recently realized that the "Current Tasks" View always shows all Tasks. We're a company of 75 people. This View would be useless then... I think a usersetting to only show your own tasks in the "Current Tasks" View would be great. Additionally I'd like to be able to set a default in the config similar to the e-mail discoverability settings

Also it would be nice if this would also apply to the "Upcoming"-View

Which alternatives did you consider using instead?

But what you're describing is already the case?

It shows you only tasks which you have access to, not all tasks in the Vikunja instance. If you want to narrow it down more, you can create a saved filter and set that as the overview page in the user settings.

(There was a bug a long time ago which showed you all tasks from all users. If that's happening to you, you should upgrade your Vikunja instance, since that's a security risk)
