Asana: Private Custom Fields

Custom field visibility in Asana is tied to the visibility of the project or portfolio where the field is used. By default, if someone has access to a project, they can view all custom fields and their values. 

Private custom fields add an extra layer of control, allowing users to keep specific fields and their values private. When a custom field is marked as private, only explicitly named members can view or edit it — across all projects, portfolios, or tasks where it appears.

This feature makes Asana a powerful tool for managing sensitive workflows by offering detailed control over who can access custom field data.

Key benefits

• Protect sensitive data by restricting access to specific individuals.

• Ensure privacy settings are consistently applied across all workflows.

Available on Asana Enterprise and Enterprise+ tiers, as well as legacy tier Legacy Enterprise. To learn more about private custom fields in Asana, click here.
