To ensure data security, we are refining the way project rights operate in MeisterTask. Take a look at the following FAQs to learn more about how this change may affect your team.
What is changing?
Starting on October 25th, 2023, users may only have the Content Manager role in projects owned by their team.
This means that external project members (i.e. members who are not part of the team that owns the project) will not be able to have the "Content Manager" role.
External project members who currently have the Content Manager role will have their roles changed to Contributor on October 25th, 2023.
Why are these changes being made?
These changes are part of a data security update to ensure that teams own and manage their own data. This also prevents external parties from accessing, modifying, or sharing data without permission.
When will these changes take affect?
The changes will be effective as of October 25, 2023.
What actions should I take?
The actions you should take depend on how you have previously managed project roles and permissions:
To prevent users from losing project Content Manager privileges, you and the other users you collaborate with should form a team.
To do this: Select one user to be your team leader. This user should then invite all collaborators to their team.
If this user has the Content Manager role in projects you own, they will lose these rights on October 25th, 2023. To ensure you don't lose access to Pro or Business features (e.g. Automations, Custom Fields, etc., the Pro/Business user will need to invite you to their team.
Alternatively, you can upgrade to a Pro or Business plan yourself.
If any of these users have the Content Manager role in projects you own, they will lose these rights on October 25th, 2023. To ensure you don't lose access to Pro or Business features (e.g. Automations, Custom Fields, etc.), the Pro/Business user will need to invite you to their team.
How do I know which team owns a project?
You can view the owner of any project by selecting the Info tab in the Project Settings menu. More information about project ownership be found here.
How can I tell if project members are part of the owning team?
All users who have access to a project are listed under Project Settings -> Sharing. Members of the owning team are displayed first and marked with a 🔐 icon. External teams that do not own the project are listed separately below the owning team.
In the example below, the team "Kevin's Cookie Company" owns the project, while other teams (e.g. Berta's Bonbon Betrieb) are shown at the bottom of the list.
Where can I find a list of external users who have access to my projects?
The Access tab (available under Preferences) displays a list of all external collaborators who have been granted access to any project owned by your team.
