Is it possible to prevent users from deleting a project? I am aware of the private/public project setting where you can restrict users to only be able to comment, instead of being able to edit. However, I need all my teammates to be able to create/edit tasks in a project, but I do not want them to h…

Thank you for the response and suggestion. Although the email is helpful to alert me when a project is deleted, it is still an issue because the project should never be deleted because I have an API script exporting data from the project on a nightly basis. I believe project and task delete prevent…

I agree. Someone outside my team deleted my project and it was catastrophic. WHy can’t I prevent deletion?? This is a huge miss.

I want to echo this as a must fix issue. When this happened on my team we were able to recover the deleted project without long-lasting issue but we need to be able to prevent users from doing this again. Project deletion should be able to be restricted to a small group of individuals or the projec…

This just happened to me. When they undid their action - the Asana came back but it was gutted. Most of the information was gone, to include all of the completed tasks which we often mine for various reports. Is there anyway to get this information restored?

@Diana_Echols , First, are you positive it’s gone, and not just that your view is showing Incomplete tasks instead of All tasks? I ask because I’ve never seen a project restored that had the behavior you described. If not, I recommend you email support@asana.com . Larry

Hi Larry – yes. I did play with the filters and the “all task” toggle. Not there. We have reached out the VIP support and they are working it. Thank you.

This is badly needed and very basic operational security for a modern SaaS program.

I’m on a new team and this just happened again to our intake project. I’m thinking we’re going to have to create a secondary project that’s really locked down so we don’t run the risk of actual information getting deleted but this would all be solved by simply having a third type of access – “Can E…
