Guys… help. It’s become an issue that a member of our team is changing due dates on important tasks, while he only has “comment only” access. I understand that “comment only”’ doesn’t restrict date-changing, but gosh! It’s so annoying. Aside from telling our team that they CANNOT change dates unless they have full access to projects (which, coincidentally, this team member is the only one who has restricted access…), I’m not sure what to do. Any advice?
Wow, this is a really tricky one. Other than threatening disciplinary action, the only suggestion I have is to use dependencies. If you set all tasks as dependent on the previous ones, you can illustrate to him just how much his date-fiddling affects others’ ability to schedule their work. This would be particularly obvious on Timeline, where it’s obvious that all of the arrows are out of place. Seeing how these changes have a knock-on effect might finally make him understand.
It’s that, or slap him around the head with a large, wet fish. 
Hello everyone
Is there a way to assign a task to someone and not have them be able to change the due date/time?
Hi @Pia_Engstrom, welcome to our Community Forum! At this time, it’s not possible to prevent the task assignee from changing due dates. Even if their permission in the project is “comment-only”, being the assignee gives them access to edit the due date of that task.
We already have a Product Feedback thread on this topic, so I’m merging your post there. Feel free to add your vote to the request!
As a workaround, you can create and save a report on this person’s open tasks and export it daily. With a bit of effort, you can create a live report in e.g. Google Sheets that shows how the Due dates of their Tasks have been changed. You won’t see in the export who made the edit, but you can dig into individual Tasks in asana and see that fact.
