WorkastHow to create a "View only" account on Workast
Workast has helped thousands of businesses manage their team work, get more organized and meet the needs of their clients. Task and project management is essential for teams, especially those that work remotely. Workast aims to cater to the needs of our users and each business has different needs. Often times, our users need a client, contractor or 3rd party to view work that they are doing for them. This is where the role as a viewer comes in.
What is a "View only" account
A "View only" account is a user that can only see the tasks and spaces that they are invited to. They can’t comment, complete, edit or create tasks. This role is great for vendors and clients to stay up to date with the progress of a project
If a team member has been added as a "View only" and should have full account access, please have a team admin change the user's role. Click here to learn how.
