I use Project Templates on a weekly basis, both via the Asana UI, and via the API. But they still confuse me.
Particularly, I’m trying to understand how/where the settings are, for being able to share to specific users and/or teams, whilst giving those users or teams specific permissions.
When building the project template, there is the familiar “Share” option in the top-right, where you can choose which members are added to the project that gets created from the template.
But major aspects are missing from this area:
- The ability to choose Teams from this area (how else do you ensure your resulting project will be shared to additional teams?)
- What does “Members” mean? https://freshy.media/captures/A56yeQuFPW.png
- A tooltip somewhere explaining this would be helpful.
- Is the default access setting that “new members” that get added to the project later on will have?
- Or is it actually “Task collaborators” that this is referring to? A resulting project from the above template looks like: https://freshy.media/captures/cehqx0nfiq.png
- How can we pre-specify the “Manage notifications” for those that get added to the projects. Ideally none of the members would have “Tasks added” chosen in the notification settings: https://freshy.media/captures/keZoF6ohSq.png
- How/where do we specify the “Access settings” for the overall resulting project (whether it’s accessible by the entire organization or private to members? This is what a project setting has, but where is this specified on the template: https://freshy.media/captures/y3X5fQBNLM.png
