As an Adobe Workfront administrator, you can use an access level to define a user’s access to tasks, as explained in Access levels overview.
For information about using custom access levels to manage users’ access to other object types in Workfront, see Create or modify custom access levels.

Configure user access to tasks using a custom access level
-
Begin creating or editing the access level, as explained in Create or modify custom access levels.
-
Click the gear icon
note note NOTE When you configure an access level setting for a certain type of object, that configuration doesn’t affect the users’ access to objects with a lower rank. For example, you can restrict users from deleting tasks in their access level, but this does not restrict them from deleting issues, which are lower-ranking than tasks.For more information about the hierarchy of objects, see the section Interdependency and hierarchy of objects in the article Understand objects in Adobe Workfront. -
(Optional) To restrict inherited permissions for tasks from higher ranking objects, click Set additional restrictions, then select Never inherit document access from projects, tasks, issues, etc.
-
(Optional) To configure access settings for other objects and areas in the access level you are working on, continue with one of the articles listed in Configure access to Adobe Workfront, such as Grant access to financial data.
-
When you are finished, click Save.
After the access level is created, you can assign it to a user. For more information, see Edit a user’s profile.
Access to tasks by license type
For information about what users in each access level can do with tasks, see the section Tasks in the article Functionality available for each object type.
Access to shared tasks
As the owner or creator of an issue, you can share with other users by granting them permissions to it, as explained in Share a task.
When you share any object with another user, the recipient’s rights on it are determined by a combination of two things:
- The permissions that you grant to your recipient for the object
- The recipient’s access level settings for the object’s type
