I sometimes make stupid mistakes, and I’ve made this one more often than I care to admit.
- I turn a field into a library field
- Everyone in my org (and specifically the field creator) have field admin rights, which is the default
- I think “that’s not good”, and set our org as “user” instead of field admin
- I realise I wasn’t specifically added to the field, so I’ve locked myself out.
In my most recent case I discover the current field admin no longer works for us, which led to:
- me creating a support ticket
- me looping in our super admin for approval
- me discovering super admin is on vacation and having to find another super admin
- back and forth with support
I think this can likely be mitigated with better design, and save everyone time.
I’m thinking either:
- not allow demoting all org users without being field admin as remaining team/user
- Automatically add the user that changes the setting for the rest of the org to field amdin.
Either way, I hope Asana can find a way to save me from another facepalm moment.
