I have a project that would like to expand the scope of Discourse utility to include a task management tool as outlined in > [@How we use Discourse as a superior ..... management tool](https://meta.discourse.org/t/how-we-use-discourse-as-a-superior-management-tool/113029): > > This post is in reply to @sam’s question, but I think it merits a new topic. I’m the co-founder of an industrial robotics consultancy & training startup from Holland. In many cases, we are flown in once proverbial sh\*t has hit some industrial fan. Once we’ve cleaned stuff up, we train clients to make sure no more fans are hit in that particular location. (As contradictory as it seems, this business model actually works very well. But that for another topic.) We really had to set up a system… But this feature is pretty much blocking that from happening given the “must be a moderator to get assignments” situation: > [@How we use Discourse as a superior ..... management tool](https://meta.discourse.org/t/how-we-use-discourse-as-a-superior-management-tool/113029/1): > > _Note: it would be great if we could assign tasks to users who are non-Admin/Moderator users. For us it’s a bit unfortunate that we have to make someone a moderator to be able to assign them tasks)._ Curious if anyone is working on this currently? Or anyone else is thinking about it? --- _[View the full topic](https://meta.discourse.org/t/assign-topics-to-non-staff-users/103419)._
