Can't create sections in other user's view?

Some people in our org don’t use Asana but have accounts. In managing projects with these people I assign Asana tasks to them so I can track the work.

With this update, if you visit another user’s My Tasks unless they’ve explicitly granted you access, you…

This is a nice feature, thanks for pointing that out!
