Enable Contact Login

Allows contacts to sign in to a lightweight portal. Effect: A login link can be created/sent for each contact.

All Contacts Need Default Login

Requires that every contact uses credentials to access anything. When to use: Regulated work, NDAs, or when you want audit trails.

Task Permissions

Setting What It Means
Can Add Tasks Guests can create new tasks (like feedback requests or approvals)
Can View Comments Guests can read team comments on tasks
Can View Time Logs Guests can see how much time your team spent on a task

You can control how much your guests can do with tasks.

Example: If your client only needs to review progress, keep View Comments and View Time Logs on — and turn off Add Tasks.
