Permissions

Do you have sensitive information that you want locked down? Set permissions for important things in ClickUp.

What are permissions?

Permission settings let you decide what people can (and can't) do inside of ClickUp. For example, you may not want certain people being able to edit your stuff. 

Permissions may be set for anyone - including both Guests and Members, for Projects, Lists, and tasks. 

Spaces, however, do not have permission settings.

• Click the action menu ...
