In Asana, ‘members’ have full access to all workspace settings, projects, and tasks, while ‘guests’ can only access assigned tasks in shared projects. It is crucial to assign roles judiciously to promote efficient collaboration and maintain workspace integrity.
Strategically inviting clients, freelancers, and agency members ensures that the appropriate individuals have access to the necessary projects and tasks.
Managing Invitations and Removing Users

Assigning proper roles to your team members is a key step to ensure that sensitive content is accessible to only those who are required.
