Boards Module - Permission Levels

General

By default, all boards in Avima have custom permissions disabled. This means that all members with workspace setting “read” on the project automatically has Update permission on the board.

To restrict or manage permissions, an administrator must enable custom permissions for the board. Once enabled, the administrator can assign each group one of three levels, “No Access”, “Read” or “Update”. 

Permission levels

No Access 

• The group cannot access the board at all
