Board owner & folder owner for expanded editing rights

By default, regular users and project managers can only access boards that were shared with them or those they’ve created themselves. While this setup keeps things simple, sometimes users need more control.

To let someone edit a board they didn’t create, you can make them a board owner. This gives them the ability to adjust the board’s settings without requiring account admin privileges—quick, easy, and secure! You can assign board owner rights through the board’s sharing options.

The board owner setting

For broader access, you can take it one step further by assigning folder owner rights. If you typically organize projects or work areas into folders and have a key user responsible for managing them, making that person a folder owner is a great move. It allows them editing the settings of all boards in the folder—again, without needing higher-level privileges.

Keep in mind that simply sharing a folder with a project manager only allows them to view and work on existing boards or create new ones. They won’t be able to adjust board settings unless they’re made a folder owner.
