API - Option to mark Task "Public"

Hi @lilrkt,

There’s no actual “public/private” property on a task object. From a data model standpoint, a public task is simply a task that is not assigned to any projects or teams, and thus is accessible to the entire organization. If you just create a task and don’t assign it to any projects, by definition it’ll be a public task.

Hey @Gabe_Paez, The concept of a “private” task is a bit complicated. For example, a task can be private to one person or to 10 people. You can have a private project and then all tasks in that project are private to the members of the project. There is no “privacy” field on a task. A user’s Personal Access Token (PAT) will be scoped to the same permission level that the user has in the Asana web product. So if you create a PAT to query for tasks, you will only get the tasks that are acces…

(FYI I moved your post to the “Developers & API” forum section since, while I know it mentions Zapier, it’s more of an API question.)
