Roles and permissions

Everything a person may do to a board comes down to seven permissions.

Permission Allows
view Open it, read its comments and history
comment Comment, reply, resolve
edit Change it, name and restore versions, move it, send it to the trash
export Export or duplicate it
share Share it with a person, or make a link — never above one’s own level
operate Start and stop the sweeps of the agent attributed to it
manage Restrict it, delete it forever, share it with a team or everyone, change anyone’s grant

manage is never granted: it comes from owning a personal board or administering the organization.

Role On the organization’s boards On the organization
Owner Everything, everywhere, restricted or not Everything an admin does, plus: grant the owner role, delete or export the organization, decide who creates API keys
Admin Everything, everywhere, restricted or not Members, teams, API keys, agents, security policy, domains, SSO, SCIM, audit trail, fields
Member edit (and share, if member sharing is on) where nothing is restricted Create boards and folders at the root; read the agents and their activity
Viewer view and export where nothing is restricted Read only. Creates, changes and shares nothing — but may duplicate a board into their own space

An organization always has at least one owner: the last one cannot leave, be demoted, be removed or delete their account.

Role Manages the team
Owner, Admin Add and remove its members (from the organization), change their roles, never above their own. Only a team owner or an organization admin makes a team owner
Member —
Viewer — and caps the team’s grants at view for this person

A grant on a board or folder carries a role and two switches:

Grant role Gives
View view, export
Comment …and comment
Edit …and edit
+ Can share share
+ Can operate operate

How these combine is in how access works.
