Project for the web - task editing permission ?
We are using Project for the Web. Is it possible to configure it to adhere to the following principles?
- All end users participating in the project can see all tasks.
- They are only allowed to edit tasks they are assigned to. For tasks they are not assigned to, they can only view and cannot edit.
- If it's possible to set up editing permissions, could you specify the details? (e.g., allowed to assign additional people to tasks but not edit duration, % complete, start_date, end_date)
If Project for the Web does not meet these three requirements, can Project Online fulfill them?
- P4W cannot fulfil those requirements as it stands now. Project online would be able to do them but the last item is not very clear to me

- Thanks malshayeb;
About the last item: What I mean is: Is it possible to grant permissions on a per-task basis, allowing for specific read-write-update-delete rights on individual columns of the task table? For example, Task A is assigned to User A, and I want to set it up so that User A is only allowed to edit the %complete column but not allowed to edit the duration, start_date, end_date and or other custom columns that I created.- ok, not in project online you field level permission is not supported, so if a user have access to edit task they can edit the custom fields also.
