Company owner versus administrator

Administrators handle daily company settings, while owners have additional ownership-management responsibility. The permission boundary matters even when screens look similar.

How to apply it

Check the current role in Taskending membership settings. Company owners can grant ownership to another member. Use administrator access for operational management and ownership for deliberately sharing control of the company. Respect the last-owner safeguard.

A concrete example

A technical lead may need administrator access to manage integrations. Granting a second founder ownership is a broader continuity decision. Every support problem does not require owner privileges.

What to watch for

A role is an application permission, not a job title. Connecting a provider or selecting a repository differs from transferring company control. The last owner must not be removed without maintaining ownership.

How to check the outcome

Verify the resulting role in the membership list. Check the new owner’s relevant access and ensure ordinary members gained no unintended permissions.

Try it in your own workflow.

Understanding settings scope tells you whether a change affects only your account or the whole workspace.

Invite teammates with the right role

An invitation should give someone the right workspace and necessary authority. Signing in and administering every project are different needs.

Plan access for private projects

A company project does not necessarily need to be visible to everyone. Private access should cover both issue content and integration context.
