Hello everyone,

I can find out the permissions for a individual user membership on a project, but I can’t seem to find a way to know the equivalent but for a team.

For the authenticated user, I need to know if they can create issues. For that, I need to check if the member is in the project’s team (=ok) and whether that team has write/comment access (can’t find that anywhere).

Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks.

That’s the issue, I can only fetch memberships for users on a project.

There’s no way to fetch the team membership on a specific project in order to know whether that team is set on ‘comment\_only’ or ‘full\_write’ ☹

So having both the full team membership ([New additions to the API: team memberships, project default views, and compression](https://forum.asana.com/t/new-additions-to-the-api-team-memberships-project-default-views-and-compression/69084)) and project membership is not enough, is that your point?

It looks like it.

- I can know which team is linked to the project;
- I can know if the user is part of that team;
- I can’t know if that team is set as “comment only” ☹
