User-Level Access Control for Task Filters in Field Maps

In Field Maps Designer, under Tasks tab, there is the option to configure Task Filters. I would like to suggest an enhancement to this functionality by adding user-based visibility controls for each task filter.

For example, I would like “All Ongoing Tasks” filter (See the screenshot) to be visible only to couple of users who observe all tasks updates daily. Currently, once a task filter is configured, it becomes visible to all mobile workers. This allows any worker to view and potentially modify tasks that are assigned to other users, which can lead to data integrity and workflow issues.

Supervisors primarily need these filters for monitoring task status and progress, not for editing tasks assigned to others. Mobile workers, on the other hand, should ideally only see filters relevant to their own assignments.

Strong idea. Task Filters are currently global, but they really need role- or group-based visibility. Supervisors need “All Ongoing Tasks” for monitoring, while mobile workers should only see filters relevant to their own assignments. This would reduce confusion and prevent unintended edits without changing underlying permissions.
