I added the organization’s guest users to a shared project in Asana, but they continue to see each other as private users. How can I make private users see each other?

Hi @Ксения_Методолог

Have you added both to the project? If they aren’t members of the project itself they won’t be able to see each other.

@Bastien_Siebman and I have both seen this same thing and we believe maybe there’s a bug or a change to how this feature operates.

See his post about it here:

>
> fyi I recently stumbled upon a case that could potentially force me to reconsider the whole post: in a project in Asana Inc instance, I am a project member and I some other project members as “Private User”… Which is not how it used to behave

[@Forum-team](https://forum.asana.com/groups/forum-team), Any chance you could look into this?

@Christine_Bolton, as a result, I’ve unmarked your solution for the moment; hope that’s ok.

Thanks,

Larry

Yes, I am the project admin in a single shared project, but even in a shared project, I see guests as private users.

@Larry_Berger_lpb - Larry, thanks for spotting that!

@Ксения_Методолог I have reported this as a bug, as this is not the expected behaviour. We will be in touch with any findings when possible!

Guests in a project are suddenly appearing as private users.

For example on my end, I could see John Doe yesterday but now he’s ‘private user’ to me. I also have a 2nd guest, Jane Doe

On the flip side, John Doe doesn’t see me as a private user but sees Jane Done as one.

Welcome, @Ain_Roesley, and sorry.

I’ve merged your post into an existing topic where this apparent bug was already reported and you can follow along there.

Thanks,

We have got the same issue across all client Asana workspaces. Quite the inconvenience as certain members now can no longer be assigned tickets nor tagged in comments.

Hi @Nick_Lee7 , welcome to the forum 👋

That’s strange. Perhaps the behaviour has changed. Try adding them to the same Team or, if that isn’t suitable, just create a new Team for the both of them. That should resolve it.

I think this is the bug that’s being discussed here:

> I added the organization’s guest users to a shared project in Asana, but they continue to see each other as private users. How can I make private users see each other?

Hello!

In Asana, guests show as “private users” if they aren’t properly added to the same project. To fix this, ensure both guests are explicitly added as project members with their correct emails, remove and re‑add them if needed, and check workspace settings so guests can see each other’s profiles.
