Learn how project users and CWM users can access project tasks and CWM tasks within the Collaborative Work Management workspace.

## Access to CWM tasks for project users {#cwm-access-via-project-permissions__how-access-is-granted}

Access to a CWM task is granted through either of the following paths:

* Being a member in the Space that contains the Board where the task lives. This requires the sn_cwm.cwm_user role and is the typical CWM access path. For more information about roles for team members, see [Team member role access permissions in CWM](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/8UZ7qhq_Sno6XRtlHjjpdA "Access permissions for the team member read and team member read-write roles in Collaborative Work Management (CWM), covering projects, project tasks, demands, demand tasks, ideas, and calendar events.").
* Read or write access to the project task referenced by the Project task field on the CWM task, along with the sn_cwm.cwm_user role.

Either path allows access and the project user can perform the corresponding action on the CWM task.
