Permissions you need

View tasksCreate tasksAssign tasks to othersSee the whole workspace's capacity (Team)Set working hours and holidays

Set by your workspace admin. If you cannot do this, ask them for access.

What you see in Tasks depends on the permissions your role holds. A Super Admin sets these in Directory → Profiles.

Important: a new workspace's Member profile holds only Create for Tasks. Until a Super Admin switches on View, a Member who opens Tasks sees "No access to Tasks". Most workspaces also switch on Assign so people can give each other work.

Open Directory → Profiles, choose Member, then Tasks in the list.
The Member profile's Tasks permissions
On this screen
- Profiles list – Admin, Member, Super Admin and any custom profile.
- Tasks 1/7 – only one of seven Tasks permissions is on for Member.
- Assign / propose tasks to other people – tasks:assign, off.
- Create & propose tasks (including self-assigned) – tasks:create, on.
- Manage capacity config – tasks:manage, off. Holidays, leave and working hours.
- Manage Task Categories – tasks:manage_categories, off.
Scroll down to see the rest.
The rest of the Tasks permissions
On this screen
- View tasks and their negotiation threads – tasks:view, off. Without it, Tasks shows no access.
- View Task Categories – tasks:view_categories, off.
- View the whole team's workload – tasks:view_org, off. This is what shows the Team tab.

Permission	What it allows	Member by default
View	Open Tasks, read your Inbox, My Tasks, Calendar and Analytics, and answer tasks sent to you.	No
Create	Create tasks, including ones for yourself, and attach files.	Yes
Assign	Give a task to someone else.	No
View Task Categories	See the category list when creating a task.	No
View org	See the Team view and workspace-wide analytics.	No
Manage	Set working hours and holidays.	No
Manage Task Categories	Add, rename and delete task categories.	No

Everyone involved in a task, the person who assigned it and the person doing it, can act on that task. But View is what lets you open Tasks to see it.

If a person opens Tasks and sees "No access to Tasks", their role is missing View. See I cannot open Tasks.
