I have some users in companies who I dont want to edit the task list or milestones
I just want them to see the progress.

Did anybody create something like this already or is there already a functionality that I missed?

thanks in advance everbody who can help.

And a big Thank You to the creators of this program.

You can set permissions on Permissions page for every project. To access permissions page go to People tab of a project and find link in the yellow box.

Hello Illja,

thank you for the quick replay, and congratulations for such a good project.

I did already test the permissions on the page you mentioned, but I think I miss something.
If I uncheck everything (like upload files) for one specific user, but not the checkbox next to the name, it is still possible to WRITE, like to check and uncheck tasks.

If I uncheck the box next to the username, this user can not access anything (which is logic).

What I think of is that if I unchecked everything, that this specific user can only view anything (also tasks) but can not check or uncheck anything (like tasks).

Do I miss something?

I'm a pretty good programmer, so if there is nothing like this, I offer help and programm it.

Hi,

Thanks for the kind words! :)

There is one rule about tasks that is not that obvious: tasks assigned to Anyone can be completed by anyone. Set assignee for a task to limit who can mark it as completed...
