Auth scopes

Description
Asana: (1) Access your name and email address. (2) Access your tasks, projects, and workspaces. (3) Create and modify tasks, projects, and comments on your behalf.

Authorization

For the first run, tbx will ask you an authentication with your Asana (deprecated see #647) account. Press Enter to launch the browser. The service then performs the authorization and the application receives the results. You can close the browser window when you see the authentication success message.
