users rights

hi guys, nice work are you doing with liquid planner. thanks!

I have an issue related to USER RIGHTS. I have no found in the system a way to determinate what some users can do, and what some others cannot do.

I think it’s very important this feature, because… imagine you work a lot creating a wonderful project plan…. and arrive a new member with no knowledge about the system (or bad intentions)... and delete something.

I’ve made a research these days, searching for a decent system to maintain my work online… and nothing better than you… but, it’s important to mention that, the only company where I remember I found a system with “good” user rights…. was Central Desktop.

Please, if you decide to implement this… I suggest: the option of task/projects/other things, creator ONLY, the account owner, and managers can delete something. *the option of users that ONLY can work, but not create, neither delete NOTHING *the option of READ ONLY (for clients mainly)

the option of maintain PRIVATE some information, but not all…. regarding this… I remember that Basecamp has this option…. you can create a Task List, and add Items (tasks)...so, you can mark as private a task list…. but, although you assign an Item (task) to somebody… the person cannot view the task if the entry list is “Not Private”... and.. this is a bad idea, because perhaps in the same project/task list you have some specific work to assign somebody of another company and you want he only can see this and not other things your team is working to…
So, these my ideas at this time.

Sorry for my english, I’m not a donkey :), I’m a spanish speaker… learning english

Your English is 100 times better than my Spanish. Thank you for this post. We are currently considering adding access controls.

Just to let you know, if another member does accidentially delete your tasks, you can go to the trash tab and recover them up until the space owner empties the trash. This could be weeks later. You can also select a task or project and go to the history tab to see who has made changes to it. You can not revert changes, but you can usually figure out things like estimate changes pretty quick.

Also note, when you mark a task done, it does not actually go away; it just gets filtered out. You can see it by changing the task filter from “active items” to “all items”.

Any new info on user rights? I would love to have Liquidplanner be a one-stop shop. I have a “work life” and another life related to a non-profit that spills over into work life (and vice versa) at least as far as my time is concerned. However, I don’t want the office to know, or care, what I’m doing (particularly since I own the company).

It’s fairly big project and I don’t have a date for it yet. Best thing to do is create two workspaces (you can switch with the button next to the home icon at the upper left of the application). For the regular job, estimate in “full work days”. For the non-profit, you might want to set your availability to something small like 1 day or even 0.5 days per week.
