Project cannot be deleted or shared

Hi,

A user created a project in 2024, when Workfront was adopted by our company, he received a notification these days on the email that a task is due on this project, by accessing the link on the email, he is redirected to the task, but cannot do any changes.

As a system admin, I only can visualize the project by accessing the link he received, so the project doesn’t exist in the list of projects.

I was able to close the task for the user, but cannot:

  • close the project, when I try to change the status to Completed - I receive the error : “Cannot modify personal project”
  • cannot delete the project - in the 3 dots beside the name I have only Edit, Recalculate Timeline, Export and Recalculate Finance
  • the share button doesn’t work - when I try to click on it - I receive the error: “Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'name')”

Have you seen this type of behavior ? Any idea on how I can close it ? or even delete it ?

thanks,

Bianca

    This seems to be a known issue. Below is a link to a feature request that might fit your needs as it would maybe allow you to temporarily deactivate your user in order to close their proj (click on the thumb up icon to vote for it)
