# 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.

To ensure the right people stay informed, add them as followers so they receive important task updates.

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