Permissions

What Read, Read & Write, and Admin permission levels allow when sharing projects.

When you share a project with someone (a user, a team, or a link share), you choose what level of access they get.

Permission levels#

Permission level dropdown showing Read, Read & Write, and Admin options

There are three levels of access:

Read only#

The person or team can view everything in the project (tasks, labels, etc.) but cannot make any changes. This is the default when you share a project.

Read & Write#

The person or team can view and edit the project. They can create, update, and delete tasks, add labels, and make other changes to the project’s content.

Admin#

Full access to the project. In addition to everything Read & Write allows, admins can also manage sharing: add or remove other users and teams, and change their permission levels.

Where permissions apply#

  • Sharing with users: When you share a project directly with another user, the permission level applies to that user.
  • Sharing with teams: When you share with a team, every member of the team gets the specified permission level.
  • Link shares: When you create a shareable link, the permission level applies to anyone who accesses the link.

To learn how to share a project and set these permissions, see Sharing & Teams.

Team admins#

Within a team, members can be designated as team admins. This is separate from the project permission levels described above. See Sharing & Teams: Team admin role for details.
