Frequently asked questions
Common questions about how to share your asana workspace.
Can I control what team members can see in my workspace?
Yes, Asana allows you to set different permission levels for workspace members. You can assign roles such as admin, member, or guest, which control what information and features each person can access. Different project-level permissions can also be configured for more granular control.
What happens when I invite someone to my workspace?
When you send an invitation, the person receives an email with a link to join your workspace. Once they accept, they'll have access to projects and tasks based on their assigned permission level. They can then start collaborating on shared work immediately.
Can I invite external contractors or clients to my workspace?
Yes, you can invite external users to your Asana workspace. You may want to use the guest role for external collaborators to limit their access to specific projects or information. This ensures external users only see the work relevant to their involvement.
How do I remove someone from my workspace?
To remove a member, go to workspace settings and find the members section. Locate the person you want to remove and select the option to delete or deactivate them from the workspace. They'll lose access immediately after removal.
Is there a limit to how many people I can invite to my workspace?
Asana's member limits depend on your pricing plan. Free and paid plans have different member allowances. Check your plan details or contact Asana support to confirm the maximum number of team members you can add to your workspace.
