Privacy and Limited Access

Your privacy is our top priority. Control who sees what and set limits within a task or a project.

Hide Tasks or Discussions from Clients

Manage who sees what for a client or a freelancer - a specific project, a task, a Discussion, or a Note. We have built client relationship management features into ActiveCollab.

Separate Freelancer Communication

Set a separate company for freelancers so they can only access a limited set of projects and tasks.

Set Separate Company Roles

Depending on the features an employee should be able to access, you can set different roles. From an Owner role, granting full access and control to a Member role, without access to Invocing and Reporting features.

Yes! ActiveCollab separates client-facing collaboration from your team’s internal chatter. Clients can comment on tasks, share feedback, and upload files without ever seeing behind-the-scenes conversations.

That way, you maintain control of sensitive discussions while still keeping clients engaged where it matters most.

The best part? Everyone stays aligned, communication is structured, and you avoid the endless back-and-forth of emails. Clients get visibility, teams keep their private space, and projects move forward without miscommunication.

Clients have a different role from team members. They can review progress, leave feedback, upload files, and access what you decide to share, but they don’t have the same control as your internal team.

For example, they can’t manage workload, assign tasks, or change budgets. Naturally, this keeps ownership with you while still giving clients the right level of visibility (which is what we believe a core feature of any client management software). You’re in control of what they see, which ensures collaboration without losing boundaries or risking sensitive project details.

Absolutely! ActiveCollab gives you one space to keep everything clients need: progress updates, files, discussions, and reports.

You can share dashboards that show task status or budget usage and provide clarity without overwhelming them with unnecessary details. This means clients no longer chase updates through scattered emails or calls.

Instead, they get clear, up-to-date insights in a structured way. The result? Less back-and-forth, faster approvals, and stronger relationships built on transparency and trust.

Yes! Clients can review tasks, leave comments, and give approvals directly within ActiveCollab.

That makes sign-offs faster and ensures everyone is on the same page. Instead of feedback lost in email threads, every comment stays tied to the specific task or deliverable.

This helps prevent scope creep, avoids confusion, and keeps projects moving without delays. In a nutshell, you spend less time chasing client approvals and more time focusing on delivering great work.

You stay in control of what clients see. ActiveCollab separates client roles from team roles, which means clients only access what you allow.

Internal discussions, workload planning, and financial details can remain private to your team. Meanwhile, clients get just the information needed for progress tracking and feedback.

This balance keeps communication transparent while protecting sensitive data. It should go without saying: your agency stays in charge, and clients feel included without stepping into your internal operations.

Yes, you can generate clear, visual reports in ActiveCollab and share them with clients whenever needed!

Reports cover progress, time tracked, expenses, and overall budget status. Instead of vague updates, clients see hard data that explains where time and money are going. This not only builds trust but also makes it easier to justify costs and keep expectations realistic.

With just a few clicks, you create transparency that turns potential disputes into confidence-building conversations.

When clients log into ActiveCollab, they see structured progress, updates, and reports instead of chasing scattered emails. This visibility builds trust because they know exactly where projects stand at any moment.

At the same time, you control what’s shared, keeping sensitive discussions private.

Naturally, this balance improves communication and reduces misunderstandings. The result is obvious – better client management, stronger client relationships, fewer disputes, and a reputation for being organized and reliable – the kind of trust that keeps clients coming back.

improve collaboration and profitability.
