Restrict access to only elements that involve a user (?)

I have created an app in Podio called "assignments" that I would like to use to assign freelancers work. My plan is to invite all the freelancers to the workspace and assign them tasks ("assignments"). However; I would ideally like the freelancers to *only* see the work assigned to them. As it is; they can see all the work assigned to other freelancers, giving them a lot of information about our business.
How can I accomplish this? Is this something that can be done with the "light" user role? I am currently on the basic plan.

Also.. if this is impossible, does anyone have a suggestion for an alternative solution?

Thank you!

You could remove the freelancers as workspace members, and instead share the individual App items with the freelancers. Using Globiflow (with Podio Premium) you can even automate this. Light User role won't really help you here as they can still see others' app items.

Hi @Bill Carovano - That sounds like a great solution; thank you for the answer!

I found this page with more info on how to share individual app items:

https://help.podio.com/hc/en-us/articles/201019768-Sharing-a-single-item

I will definitely look into how to automate it with Globiflow as it's something we're doing several times a day.

Thanks again!
