What level of access must a new team member have to view and edit only their assigned tasks in a project?

To view and edit only their assigned tasks in a project, a team member must have contribute access to the task. This level of access allows the user not only to see the task details and associated information but also to make changes and updates as necessary.

When a team member has contribute access, they can perform actions like adding comments, updating status, changing due dates, and modifying other fields within the task. This access is essential for collaboration and ensures that each team member can take responsibility for their tasks effectively.

The other access levels do not provide the necessary permissions for editing. View access limits the user to only seeing the task without the ability to make any modifications. Similarly, read access typically allows for only a very limited interaction, often for information retrieval purposes without any capability to edit the content. Hence, contribute access is the minimum requirement for the team member to work on their assigned tasks.
