I’m working on creating a private project to track legal requests. I would like for someone to send in a request and have them automatically added as a collaborator so that they can interact with the legal team in the comments section of the task. Is there a way to automatically add the submitter of a form as a collaborator? If not, is there an alternate way for someone to create a task in a project but not be able to see any of the other tasks? ---

Hi @Allen_Carr and welcome on the Forum 👋 Yes, that option exists, but only for forms that are configured for “Organization only” submitters (meaning existing users in your Asana environment). ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/asana/original/3X/9/9/996632a824872f0b8975cf88e7c676a9fb76ec69.png) If the submitters are not existing users in your organization, you might have to manually add them as collaborators of the tasks. ---
