Hi Asana Community,

We just launched role-based access control for Divisions!

Division Admins can now manage users’ roles from the Division admin console. They can also create custom roles based on the Member or Guest role, with permissions set for their Division.

Each person has one role across all the Divisions they belong to. A role change for someone in multiple Divisions applies across those Divisions, and Asana shows a warning before the admin confirms the change.

You can read more about this in the Role-based access control with custom roles Help Center article.

FAQ:

  • Which pricing tiers have access to this feature?: This feature is available on Enterprise with the Permissions add-on and Enterprise+ plans. If you’d like to take advantage of this feature, please Contact our Sales Team • Asana

  • Who can manage roles in a Division? It depends on your setup:

    • Divisions in Paid Orgs: On an eligible plan, this feature is off by default for Division Admins. A Super Admin can allow Division Admins to manage and assign roles in the admin console under Admin Console → Security → Roles and Access → Division Admin Permissions.
    • Mixed Premium domains: On an eligible plan, Division Admins can manage and assign roles by default.
