Description

If a project has tasks and is open to all OSM users, it should be possible to see analytics and such, even if the project is not set to "visible" and publicized.

A quick fix would be to restrict non visible projects to a small number of users (2 or 3?). Another way to do it would be to reorganize the UI around some other concept, like "Publicized" or whatever, where there is a central landing page for each project that has info about it, visible to anyone that might complete a task for the project.

Research direction

Start by tracing how project visibility, open tasks, and analytics access are represented in the backend. The issue presents two alternatives rather than a settled change, so first clarify whether non-visible projects need restricted access or a separate publicized landing page; done requires an agreed access rule and corresponding behavior.
