Millions of users trust Meister with their data, and for good reason. In addition to being recognized by major certification bodies as a secure online service, MeisterTask's Pro and Business plans offer additional tools to allow enterprises to control access to information and prevent internal security breaches. Read on to learn more!

Setting for Team Invitations

By default, only invited users can join your team in MeisterTask.

Alternatively, Team Admins can also choose to have all newly registered users whose email domain matches an approved domain automatically added to the team when that user wants to join the team.

1. Click your user avatar in the top-right corner of the MeisterTask interface.
2. Select Account.
3. Click My Team on the left side of the Accounts page.
4. Click Sign Up Mode in the left sidebar.
5. Select either Invitations only or Anyone with a specific domain.  
6. Click Save Changes.
   

You have now specified that users can not only a) join the team via a personal team invitation, or b) add themselves to the team independently (without a direct team invitation).

Restrict Project Invitations

Team Admins can restrict which users can be invited to their project. Sharing can be restricted to your team or to users with specific email domains. To restrict sharing:

1. Go to the My Team page (only available for team admins)
2. Click on Permissions.
3. Scroll down to MeisterTask Restrictions and click Edit.
4. Select your desired sharing restrictions, e.g. Only these email domains
5. Type in the domain(s).
6. Click on Save.

You have now successfully defined that only users with this email address(es) can be invited to projects. Content managers can no longer invite users to their projects who have an email address with a different domain. If they try to invite such a user, they will receive a warning.

Set IP Address Restrictions

Business team admins can restrict access to their team's projects by making them only accessible from certain IP ranges (e.g. from company headquarters). To set this up:

1. Click your user avatar in the top-right corner of the MeisterTask interface.
2. Select Account.
3. Click Settings under My Team on the left sidebar.
4. Switch to the Permissions tab.
5. In the text field below the "Restrict Access" header, enter either single IP addresses or ranges. Separate multiple addresses with a comma.
   (ex: 8.8.8.8, 4.4.4.4/12) 
6. Once you're finished, click Save Changes.
   
   
   

Set Custom Feature Restrictions

Business team admins can restrict their team from accessing certain advanced features in MeisterTask, including integrations, reports, external attachments and project invite suggestions. To set these permissions:

1. Visit the team settings page (only available to team administrators).
2. Select the Permissions tab.
3. Scroll down to MeisterTask Restrictions and select Edit.
4. Uncheck the boxes next to the features you'd like to disable.
5. Click Save changes.
   
   

Set Default Project Type

Business team admins can choose whether their team creates team projects or private projects by default. To do this:

1. Visit the team settings page (only available to team administrators).
2. Select the Permissions tab.
3. Scroll down to MeisterTask Restrictions and select Edit.
4. Choose your team's default project type.
5. Click Save changes.
   
   

Set User Display Names

By default, only users' first names are displayed in MeisterTask projects. Team administrators can choose to show users' full names instead. To do this:

1. Click your user avatar in the top-right corner of the MeisterTask interface.
2. Select Account to access the Accounts page.
3. Click Settings under My Team on the left side of the Accounts page.
4. Scroll down to the Display Names header.
5. Check the box marked "Show full names instead of first names."
6. Click Save Changes. 
   
   
   

If the My Team option is not visible in the left sidebar, it is because you are not a Team Admin. Please contact your Team Admin to change this setting and view the full names of team members.

Restrict File Uploads

By default, all users can upload and attach files to tasks. Team administrators can choose to disable uploading local files for all projects and team members.

If disabled, no one on the team will be able to:

• See the option to upload files on tasks
• Drag files into a task
• Paste files into a task

To disable file uploads for all projects:

1. Select your user avatar in the top-right corner of the MeisterTask interface.
2. Select Account to access the Accounts page.
3. Select My Team on the left side.
4. Choose Permissions.
5. Scroll down to MeisterTask Restrictions and select Edit.
6. Deselect File Uploads.

By default, all users can also attach files from external services. Team administrators can choose to restrict the ability to link to other resources in the attachments. This affects links to files on Google Drive, OneDrive, Dropbox, and any other link attached to the task. (This does not affect any links that are inserted via Markdown in the task description.)

To do this:

1. Select your user avatar in the top-right corner of the MeisterTask interface.
2. Select Account to access the Accounts page.
3. Select My Team on the left side.
4. Choose Permissions.
5. Scroll down to MeisterTask Restrictions and select Edit.
6. Deselect Attachments from External Services.
