Permissions - more advance settings for comments, edits, creating, etc.
Javier Pereira
We would like to be able to have more advanced and detailed permissions for different members of my team on space, folder and list level. There should be more options for admins to customize the permissions of what can be viewed, commented, edited, created, etc. For example:
We only want the developers in the team to add comments on tasks and to change the status of certain columns. If we don't want them to be able to edit checklists or the description of tasks & subtasks there are no options for us to customize this. Moreover, there are certain columns that are created for management use only and we have no options to block developers from editing some columns and allow them to edit others.
The current options are an edit all or nothing type of thing and can create a lot of problems when users from different departments can edit options from others. We cannot separate them into different folders and lists because they need to see each other work and be able to ask and change certain statuses and columns but not all of them

biggest headaches:
'comment only' allows status changes, these should be separated/controllable independently
'view only' - doesn't allow time tracking, this should be should be separated/controllable independently
'edit' - allows not just edits to all fields, but also edits to views/list settings, these should be separated/controllable independently

Agree. Need the ability to add time entries but not add or delete tasks or lists.

The more I review these permission options the crazier it is.
How is the only options are Edit (someone can't create a task) or Full they can F... with the whole list or folder. Surely a standard use case should be the ClickUp management team developing a list and then locking it down for everyone to use and add/edit tasks.
James Hogg
At very least a "Comments Only" permission is needed that only allows Comments only, and not current "Comments" that allows changing Assigned and Status.
We have had multiple instances of people being assigned a Comment that needs a response and they complete the entire task, which they should not have any rights to do, thus hiding it and causing issues for the responsible team.

Agreed. This is a real pain. I want to share views with my clients that allow them to create tasks and set a small number of specific fields. Whilst not allowing them to view sensitive notes or other information related to the tasks that are for the use internally. I'd also like to be able to control what freelancers and contractors have access to if I'm sharing views/spaces with them. The all or nothing options for permissions don't give any where near enough control. It's quite frustrating.

we have an assistant that uses the dashboard to time track yet can see everyone else's time tracking, which she shouldn't
Frustrating

This is also a headache for us too. Our developers need to be able to comment and change status (which can be done with comment only) but if we set up like that, they can't track time which makes little sense

Agreed; this will also be beneficial for upper management access, as a more detailed set of options allows flexibility depending upon the executive accessing a list.
