We have two use cases here.

1. Making is super easy to work with clients. Clients can see only Discussion and Tasks which specifically marked as visible to them. Rest is not visible to them

2. Allowing true privacy – concept described by Caroline. Once this mode is enabled users can create private tasks and decide who they want to share it with.

@Caroline – I assume project and project group administrators should be able to see private tasks. Right?

Probably we should move Private Tasks and Private Discussions into a separate add-on which is not available by default.

We have requests for private tasks and we have requests for disabling privacy – when a teacher in a school does not want students to create private tasks at all.

I assume functionality similar to Private Discussions we already have in Freedcamp is what you are after.

At this stage I am not even sure how to implement it best way. We do not have concept of ‘client’ in Freedcamp. We will need to add a special attribute to project teams which will say – this team is ‘client’ and once you set this attribute to a team you can create a task which is visible to clients. If not ticked – not visible to them. On screenshot (https://www.dropbox.com/s/rp9sij4usvf6x7i/Client%20Teams.png?dl=0) set attribute shown in black box which will tell Freedcamp – people in this team are clients. This way you can have multiple clients teams in the same project with different permissions.

Let me know what you think please.

Cheers,
Igor
