    View casesAllows you to view and search for cases to which you assigned or for all cases in the tier. You can set View cases to a higher level than Edit cases.

Select this option in addition to Manage tasks, which you may set only for assigned cases. You can also use this privilege to create an access level for users whose only function is to perform tasks and who are restricted from viewing cases.
