Guest access to project with multi-homed tasks

Hi there;
If a guest has access to a project that has tasks that are multi-homed, can the guest access the task in the project that is the 2nd home?
In our case, we use multi-homing to manage our weekly sprints, so tasks from multiple projects are added to the sprint board.

Thx in advance for any help on this.

@Marc_Kleinmann, If a guest has access to see the task, then they can see it regardless of how many homes it has (there’s just one task, really). A guest can see the task if they are the assignee or a collaborate, or if the guest has access to any one of the projects in which the task appears.

It’s a little confusing, but hope that helps. Might want to read up on Permissions in How to use Asana, Asana tutorials, onboarding tips, and team use cases | Product guide • Asana Product Guide since it’s a very flexible system for permissions/access rights.

Hope that helps,

Larry

Building on what Marc asked - Do guests have access to the full project where a task is homed.
Eg Task ‘Meeting Item’ is homed on Management Project and Staff Project. The management Project is for managers only and needs to stay secure.
A guest is added to the Staff Project and added directly to the task "Meeting Item’ - can they then view the Management Project or can they still only see the task via the Staff Project they are added to.

Welcome, @Kylie_Nickolls2,

In your example, they can only see the task, not other tasks in Management Project. Note that they will see org-wide custom fields in the task inherited from Management Project, but only their values for the one task they can see.

Thanks,

Larry
