Using task permissions

The task permission system in MeetingBooster (if used) allows you to define which options should be available to task owners. This topic describes how to change the default task permissions when creating or editing a particular task.

For more information on the task permission system, see "Managing task permissions" in the Administrator Guide.

Click Permissions while creating or editing the task.

In the dialog that opens, do done of the following:

Select the Full access for task viewers check box if you want to give all task viewers (including the owner) complete control over the task. By doing so, you allow all task viewers to edit all task properties and even delete the task.

Select one or more properties on the list of options if task viewers should not have full access, but the task owner should be able to edit particular properties of the task.

For a definition of task viewers, see "Managing task permissions" in the Administrator Guide. Note that the Full access for task viewers check box is only available if your administrator has enabled this option.

Be careful not to take too many options away from the task owners. If you deselect Completion, for example, task owners will not be able to change the status of tasks assigned to them.

(Optional) Click Save as default for new tasks to save your current selections. The next time you create a task, these settings will be pre-selected in this dialog.

If you do not select any task permissions as described above, and if you have not saved any default settings, the default permissions set by the administrator are used when you create a new task. The administrator may limit which permissions you can select and deselect for task owners, and the task owner's security roles may override the selections you make.
