Visibility

Tasks respect your company's access levels:

  • Regular users see tasks assigned to them plus tasks they created
  • Admins see all tasks across the company
  • Tasks linked to items inherit the item's pipeline permissions. If a user cannot access the pipeline, they will not see tasks linked to its items.

You can also create tasks from a contact detail view, linking the task to that contact for consolidated tracking.
