Activity / Task security RRS feed

  • Question

  • I was surprised to find out that any user can complete or cancel a task regardless of the security privileges set.  

    I have the activity entity set to read access across the organization, and all other privileges restricted to User.

    If user A creates a task and assigns it to User B, I would expect ONLY user B can complete the task, in fact it seems that anyone can complete the task, if they can see it.  Am I missing something here?

  • Hi Marcus,

          Check the write privilege for the users on activity. If this set to organisation or BU, this is possible to have the behaviour you are mentioning. If you want only user B to change this, reduce the rights to user and others will not be able to change this. This can be checked under Settings-> Administration -> Security Roles and open the relevant role. Then select the Core Entities tab and check the first one which is activity.

    Hope this helps.

  • Your example was when a task is reassigned. There's a system setting 'Share reassigned records with original owner' - if this is set to true, then in your example user A would still be able to modify the task, though other users wouldn't.
