User Roles and Permissions

Control who sees what in your space and boards

Updated over a week ago

Want to limit users' access to your workspace or boards? Both Workspace and Board admins can easily control the security-levels of their collaborators. Space admins can set permission levels for the entire space, while board admins can set permissions for each board individually (for existing space members only). Be in total control of your members' activity by setting individual user-roles.

Availability:

  • Teams users - space admins & board admins.

  • Family users - space admins & board admins.

  • Supported on all platforms (functionality-based, see below).
