There can only be one Task Manager

Task Managers have visibility into all Tasks across a organizations instance of Task Management, can manage users with Task Access, and manage Task Management Settings.


Roles

Task Manager

  • Has visibility into all Tasks. Manages users with Task Access and manages Task Management settings.

  • There may only be one Task Manager at the Client level.

Task Admin

  • Has visibility into and can act on all Tasks at suborgs they have permissions to

  • Task Admins are automatically assigned to Tasks submitted for their sub-org.

  • There may only be one Admin per suborg. The Task Manager is the default Task Admin per suborg.

Task Collaborator

  • Has visibility into all Tasks for a Group.

  • They can act on those tasks like a Task Admin—including updating tasks, responding, adding internal notes, and assigning/reassigning within the Group.

  • They are never auto-assigned by default routing; new tasks still go first to the group’s Task Admin, or to the Task Manager if no Admin is configured.

  • There can be multiple Collaborators per Group, unlike the one-Admin-per-group constraint.

Task Responder

  • Can respond to tasks assigned to them by Task Admins and Task Managers

  • There is no limit on the number of Responders per sub-org.
