Hi there,  
We are on a trial version.  
I have changed members access via Share button to Commenter only, but users can still amend due dates in their My Tasks. How to amend this function? We do not want any user besides Project Admin to amend those details.

Welcome to the Asana Community Forum @Gosia08 👋

Here is a great overview/graphic on the project access levels:

> Hi Asana Community! We’re excited to announce more granular permissions with the introduction of the [editor access level in projects](https://asana.com/guide/help/permissions/project-permissions#gl-individual-user-permissions). Projects now have admin, editor, and commenter access levels that you can assign to collaborators by project. Individual user project permissions by access level are: Admins who typically lay the framework for projects. Editors who can add content to projects, such as adding tasks and messaging. They cannot make changes to the project’s architecture, such as d…

Now you mentioned you are on a trial version, did you main Premium?

> Project admin and editor access levels are available for all plans, and commenter access level is available in Premium tier or higher.

Then the comment-only access is available. More info [here](https://asana.com/guide/help/permissions/project-permissions).

Now if a task in a comment-only project is also added to another project that has no restrictions, to which the same person has higher access, then they would still be able to edit tasks.

For a task within a project where somebody has comment-only access, they will not be able to amend due dates, except for tasks assigned to them.

Any task assigned to a person shows up in their My Tasks also and they will be able to amend the due date (even if they have comment-only access in a specific project)

Understood, thank you.  
So there is no way to block this option for users also in their My Tasks?

As it stands it does not seem possible.

However [here](https://forum.asana.com/t/lock-due-date/128091) is an existing feedback request regarding being able to block due dates.

As a workaround you can set up a rule in this project so you are notified whenever somebody amends a due date. As an action you could multihome the task, add a comment etc.
