Details

• The creator of the board receives the “admin” permission for the board automatically.
• There always needs to be at least one board admin per board. For this reason, the last board admin cannot leave the board without giving the “admin” permission to another board member first.

Notes

• Global admins can also configure board admins in the panel Administration.
• When a board is created within a project in the panel Projects, the permissions of the project permisson groups are applied on the board as well.

Change board permission

• In the sidebar, click on the avatar of the member.
• Click on the option Change Permission.
• Select the permission by clicking on the entry in the dialog box.
• The permission is ticked.

Permissions of External Users

Information

• In PLANTA pulse, it is possible to restrict the permissions of external users.
• To do so, an internal domain needs to be defined and the option Board Restrictions needs to be activated in the panel Administration.

Details

• When the restrictions for external users are activated, they cannot:
  • access boards other than those for which they have explicit access rights, since they were invited onto them
  • view public boards
  • join public boards
  • create new boards and
  • record hours worked on cards or in the panel Time Recording.
    • The menu item is hidden for external users.
