So I had an email from Trello saying deleted account made you Admin on the board Visivo Workstream - https://trello.com/b/3yyoCBLw/visivo-workstream 

 

Now when I go on it I am the only person listed and I don't have full admin rights so basically I cant do anything? Need this back please.

Thank you

James Wood

Hi @James Wood 

Trello has seen similar cases where the board admin's account was deleted due to dormant-account cleanup, leaving other board members without admin rights.

Open the board, select Share, and check your role:

If a normal member, the admin transfer failed. If a Board Admin whose actions fail, confirm if you're attempting Workspace-level changes (not covered by Board Admin rights) or if the role is glitched.

If you lack Admin status or permissions remain broken, Atlassian Support will need to manually review the board and restore your admin rights.

I also flagged your post to get Atlassian attention.

Hi,

I fixed it by creating a new board with similar name, then it appeared in the list for closed boards. Not sure what was happening but working now. 

Thank you.
