Asana Project Memberships API

With the introduction of “comment-only” projects in Asana, a user’s membership in a project comes with associated permissions. These permissions (i.e., whether a user has full access to the project or comment-only access) are accessible through the project memberships endpoints described here.

  title: Asana Allocations Project Memberships API
  description: The Asana Allocations API allows users to manage and allocate resources within their Asana project management system. An allocation object represents how much of a resource (e.g. person, team) is dedicated to a specific work object (e.g. project, portfolio) over a specific period of time. The effort value can be a percentage or number of hours.
