Wondering if anyone has a suggestion on how to share a “Section” rather than a specific task with other people.

Hi @Gerri_Baum, welcome to the forum and thanks for reaching out!
It’s currently not possible to share a Section within a project. If you have a group of tasks that need to be shared with your team members, I recommend you adding them as collaborators to each task or creating a project (it can have the name of your section) and add your tasks to this project, then you’ll be able to share your project and its tasks with all the members.
I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any questions!
Thanks for the quick reply Emily. I think that I’ll keep everything in one project so that I can keep it simple. However, if you’re able, perhaps you can pass along my suggestion that Asana make it possible to share sections (as they do tasks) at some point in time.

Agreeing with Gerri! This would be tremendously helpful, to be able to share a Section (along with the tasks under the section) with specific collaborators. We have one project with multiple Sections. And we can’t allow all collaborators access to the whole project due to confidentiality. So, allowing specific section access would really help! Please consider submitting as a ticket to be added as a function. Thank you!

@anon210930 and @Gerri_Baum I wanted to point out that if you are on a business license you have access to the Custom Rule Builder. With this feature you are able to add specific collaborators to any task that is added to a specific section!

@LEGGO How were you configuring the rules to only allow the collaborators to view a specific Section while keeping the other Sections in the project restricted?
@anon84363171 this would assume the collaborators are not project or team members which then they would only be able to see the tasks they are a collaborator on.
I feel it would be really helpful if this feature is made available. Thanks

This seems to be such an obvious and basic feature. Would love to have it please!
Hi everyone - is this an updated feature yet? I want to only share a section of a project with outside grant writing executors, with whom do NOT need to see the whole project and tasks, only what they need to assist with in grant funding. Is there a work around if this is not available yet? @Emily_Roman

Here in 2024 to also request this as an update! It came up very recently in a few projects I’m working on and it would be extremely helpful. Please implement!

This feature is something I am really looking for, its so complicated to create separate projects for the same project just to restrict access for some team members. For example I might have 10 different press releases being developed in the communications section, each one might have different team members involved. Not everyone needs to see everything. In other projects we are working with finances that junior staff do not need access too.
Also an issue for me, if I add staff onto a certain activity, they can see that in their Asana, but if I add them onto 4 subtasks on a project out of 25 subtasks they don’t see them logically under the project, task, subtask grouping, but just randomly in their folders. So its not easy for them to keep track of whats what.
I agree this is such an obvious development. This thread was opened by Gerri in 2020! I think it is time it was implemented

I want to also raise my hand to really wanting this feature. It seems like a no brainer. Would love the ability to share specific tasks or sections and have everything listed under one program. I see this feature was requested in 2020. In other products that I have used, there is a way to share dynamically, so that when a user looks at a plan, they will only see tasks that have their name / persona identified. This would be a real win to accommodate such a feature.
