Update to our email policy

Hello everyone :wave:

Asana is introducing a new account email policy to help maintaining the highest level of security and privacy for Asana users.

With this update, members of an organization will only be able to add compatible email addresses to their Asana account. A compatible email address is one that matches the email domains that have been verified and added to your organization in Asana.

This new policy is already enforced for new users. New users cannot add incompatible email addresses to their account. If they wish to create a personal workspace to organize their private tasks separate from their work organization, they must create a separate account with their personal email address.

Most existing Asana users are already compliant with this policy however, that’s not the case for everyone. Over the coming weeks, non-compliant users will be separated following the logic below:

Regarding Guest access in our organization, I am not sure I am 100% understanding.
Their guest access will remain intact, but since their associated email address does not match our domain, they will no longer receive email updates from Asana? Is that correct?
Thank you.

Guest will continue to receive email updates from Asana on the email that they’ve set for each domain. I’ve attached an example of a user with a guest access to an organization to illustrate it.
