Use Docket

People, teams and sharing

Docket lists can be shared, and tasks can be assigned to people. Everyone is an account on your own Docket server, so nothing goes through anyone else's cloud.

#Add people

Open People and teams in the sidebar.

• Someone who already has an account on your server: share a list with them (below) and they appear here.
• A new person: fill in Name, Email and Username under Add a person and choose Create account. Docket shows a password once; send it to them with the server address so they can sign in to Docket (or Docket web) and change it.

Creating accounts works when the server runs on the same PC as the app (the Windows install). For a Docker server, let people sign up while sign-ups are open, or create accounts with Vikunja's own tools.

#Teams

A team groups people so you can share a list with all of them at once. On the People page choose New team, name it and add members by username.

#Share a list

Open the list's List options > Share list…. You can share with:

Each person or team gets a permission:

Shared lists show a sharing icon. Change someone's permission or stop sharing from the same dialog.

#Assign tasks

In a task's details, Assign to picks someone who can see the list. Assigning someone who can't see it yet shares the list with them first. Assigned tasks show their avatars on the row, and Overview lists what's assigned to you.

From the command line:

docket people                    # who you work with
docket assign 12 pat             # assign task 12 to pat
docket unassign 12 pat
docket share work                # who can see the Work list
docket share work pat edit       # share it with pat (view, edit or admin)

#What AI can and can't do

An AI connected through the Docket connector can list people (people) and assign a task to someone who can already see its list (assign). It can't share lists, manage teams or create accounts: its token has no sharing rights, on purpose. Share from the app first, then ask the AI to assign.
