# Task Permissions

**Access to Tasks Based on Different Scenarios:**

1. **Tasks in Projects** – Only task followers and project members can access the task.
2. **Subtasks** – Access is limited to those who can view the parent task.
3. **Tasks Shared with Specific Individuals** – If a task is not part of any project, only followers of the task have access.
4. **Hiding Tasks from Guests** – Certain tasks can be hidden from guests (clients or vendors) to maintain confidentiality.

{% hint style="warning" %}
To ensure the right people stay informed, add them as followers so they receive important task updates.
{% endhint %}

Please refer to [project roles](/permissions/project-permissions.md) for further information on task modification rights.
