note to self: one thing is that this would appear to prevent non-members of Task-Editors from claiming tasks as well (which might in turn mean that new developers then couldn’t assign a task to themselves)

Another idea might be to restrict what forms you can use to edit. I think you could allow claiming a task that way while disallowing some other edits.

True, though that wouldn't restrict malicious actors from being able to edit via the API if they wanted to (as documented e.g. at https://we.phorge.it/book/phorge/article/forms/#use-case-security-issues:~:text=regardless%20of,Conduit%20API).

I am not sure whether / to what extent restricting the available forms may also (be able to) restrict what actions someone is able to take using the "Add Action..." dropdown. I would have to check.
