# Visibility - Cascaded by Epic / Sprint

Task visibility can be controlled at the Epic or Sprint level. Restrictions set on an Epic or Sprint cascade automatically to all tasks linked to them.

## How it works

You don't need to set visibility on each task individually. When you restrict access on an Epic or Sprint, all attached tasks inherit those restrictions. If a task belongs to both an Epic and a Sprint, it combines the restriction lists from both.

## To set visibility on an Epic
## Step 1: Open and edit the Epic

Go to Tasks → Epics

Open the Epic your task belongs to

Click Edit

Step 2: Manage Epic Visibility

In the edit dialog, find the Visibility section

Click Manage Epic Visibility

Select the users or groups who should not have access

Click Update Epic Restrictions

## To set visibility on a Sprint
## Step 1: Open and edit the Sprint
Go to Tasks → Sprints

Open the Sprint your task belongs to

Click Edit

## Step 2: Manage Sprint Visibility

In the edit dialog, find the Visibility section

Click Manage Sprint Visibility

Select the users or groups who should not have access

Click Update Sprint Restrictions

Tasks linked to the Epic or Sprint inherit restrictions automatically — no need to configure each task individually

If a task belongs to both an Epic and a Sprint, it inherits the combined restrictions from both

Changes to Epic or Sprint visibility apply to all linked tasks immediately
