My request is Simple:

Allow users to assign tasks to any team member, regardless of whether that member has access to the task’s parent list or folder.

Currently, in order to assign a task to someone, I have to first share the entire folder or list with them. This creates friction when I’m simply trying to assign a one-off task or delegate something quickly — especially compared to platforms like Asana, where assigned tasks appear in a user’s “My Tasks” view automatically, even if they aren’t a collaborator on the full project.

Here’s what I’m envisioning:

• I create a task and assign it to someone.

• If they don’t already have access, ClickUp either:

• Automatically grants them access to just that task, or

• Prompts me with an option to share the task with them without sharing the full folder/list.

This would preserve privacy and folder structure, but drastically improve speed and ease of delegation.

Thanks for considering this! I love using ClickUp and would love to see this kind of flexibility added for more efficient team workflows.
