Configure Task Access

Configure who can view or execute specific tasks within a release by managing task access settings.

About Tasks​

Tasks are activities performed in a release that combine to form Phases. Tasks can be:

  • Manual: User-performed actions (Manual tasks, Gates, User Input)
  • Automated: System-executed scripts (Deploy tasks, Script tasks, Webhooks, Notifications)
  • Container: Tasks containing subtasks (like parallel groups)
  • Custom: User-created task types

For more information, see Task types.

Configure Task Access​

Access the task settings page at Settings > Users and permissions > Task access.

Manage Task Type Access​

  1. For All Users:

    • Select Available for all users check box next to a task type to grant universal access
    • Clear the check box to remove universal access

  2. For Specific Roles:

    • Enter role name in Available to roles column
    • Select role(s) from autocomplete list
    • Click Close to remove a role
    • Click Save to apply changes or Reset to revert
note
  • A task type can be available to either all users OR specific roles - not both
  • Without any access settings, task types are only available to Admin users

Access Restrictions — Impact on Users​

When a task type is unavailable to a user, they:

  • Cannot see it in the Add Task menu
  • Cannot add it to templates/releases

However, they can still:

  • Run releases with existing restricted tasks
  • View task details
  • Skip/fail/retry tasks
  • Move tasks within templates/releases
  • Rerun phases with restricted tasks
  • Perform standard release actions
