Within Teamwork.com, you can set the privacy on a task so that only certain people on the project are able to see it. 

Note: Subtasks inherit the privacy set for their associated parent task. Privacy cannot be set directly on subtasks.


New tasks

To set privacy on a task when the task is being created, select the Privacy option from the More dropdown. You can then choose which individuals, teams, or companies should have access.

Note: Site administrators in the owner company will always be selected (gray), as their permissions override privacy by default and they will always be able to see the item.
