Description

Description

At the moment, the only person who can delete a task is a lead on the corresponding team. However, we want to make it so that the creator of a task can delete the task as well.

Acceptance Criteria
  • the creator of a task can delete the task, even if they aren't a lead
  • no other functionality is affected (i.e. other than the creator, only a lead on the relevant team can delete the task)
Proposed Solution

Find the logic for when deleting a task is disabled, and alter that so that the creator of the task can also delete it.

Research direction

No file or test is named in the issue. Start by locating the TypeScript logic that disables task deletion, then trace how creator and team-lead permissions are determined. The work is done when creators can delete their own tasks while non-creators still require relevant team-lead access, with no other behavior changed.
