NEED to be able to see tasks deleted by OTHERS in the group. Others should not be able to permanently delete items they they didbnt create. Admins need a full audit log showing all actions taken by everyone.

There NEEDS to be a deleted items bin that everyone in the project can view and recover from. It should show who deleted the item and when. Also there should not be a permanently delete option unless youāre an admin, or unless you were the one that created the item you deleted.

Adding my vote - assignees should not be able to delete tasks they didnāt create and assigners must be notified or asked to accept the deletion.
It could be so simple to add an option when you assign a task to someone:
Allow assignee deletion: - No/Yes/Ask

Whatās the status of this? Itās been years now and makes Asana not viable for use except with an extremely tightly-knit and highly trusted group of people who are guaranteed to never become upset. It makes Asana an easy way to destroy progress for a malicious/upset team member.

WOW! The issue is worse than this! To add insult to injury when a task is deleted and you go find it in the deleted tasks, it has a notation that i was deleted and by whom. Then when you undelete the task this note goes away! This is a huge paper trail issue. Now an employee can say they didnāt delete it. It also makes it very hard to explain an issue.
ex. task created and assigned, not getting done, find out accidentally or maliciously deleted, now asked why task is so far behind, unable to show someone deleted it!
I love Asana but issue likes this compounding other issues is really rough.

Hello, upvoting this feature request.
Iām using Asana to manage my product backlog, and Iāve allowed other users in the business access to it so that they can comment on ideas and projects etc, however, I would like to know if anything gets deleted. Some people may think something is unimportant, but be missing the bigger picture behind it.
Short of a notification of deleted tasks, is there a way to prevent deletion altogether expect for say the project owner?
at lease send a notification of deleted task to task creator. if assignee deleted permanently then task creator could not find the task. it is really very big problem.
also permanently delete task action only execute by the task creator. so task creator can view history and take action accordingly
I needed this in my last gig as well and ended up just making an app to do it. I decided to make the app available to others. Itās not perfect but it basically works.
Check out the end of the āPrevent Users from Deleting Tasksā thread at Prevent Users from Deleting Tasks if youāre interested.
+1 from me as well
I just started using Asana and noticed that this feature is absolutely necessary.
Agree this is neededāthereās no way to tell when a task has been deletedāseems like a basic feature Asana should haveācausing major headaches for a process Iām trying to build out.

Any updates on whether Asana will fix this issue? Itās obviously an issue with many. I run projects on this system. Had I found this issue I would have went with Monday. Itās that key to my projects. We review our system annually. Without better security settings we might be forced to move to Monday next year. Like the Asana system but this could literally bomb a project if the wrong task was deleted.
I am also looking for this feature as I have a large team and can not see if any of them have deleted anything I have assigned to them.
this seems like such a no-brainerā¦
I am currently evaluating Asana as a new project management tool for our company and have also encountered this problem.
We have people here from QM who insist on being notified when tasks are deleted. I am very unsettled when such simple functions are not implemented despite many requests and, above all, are not further commented on.
why has this not been addressed yet? how can you be sure things are leaking if people can just delete tasks with no notifications
