Hi @Rose Eedes 

In general on Trello, boards don’t close automatically or “by themselves.” A board is marked as closed (archived) only when someone with the right permissions takes that action, or if access settings change (for example, being removed from the board or workspace).

https://support.atlassian.com/trello/docs/closing-a-board

It’s possible that the board was closed by an admin or that your access was updated, which can make it appear as if the board was closed unexpectedly. Maybe you can check / confirm with workspace admins to see exactly what happened?

Hello! We are having the same issue. I did a little research that led me to your thread. A few of us on the team have received the notification "[deleted account] made you an admin on the board VIPER Project" or similar. How can we tell who is doing that?

I am still looking through all my activity and I can see all the different cards that are on this board under activity but I still cannot open the board and cannot find who the so called admin is on my board now.... very frustrating.

My board has closed suddenly too, for no reason. I am the admin, no one else has had access to it. How do we get Support to reopen them quickly?

My board was opened by support thank goodness.  Try asking Sakshi above?

Hi @Sakshi Verma the same happened here.

I was the only admin of my board named "Pessoal", using my personal email account, and it was suddenly closed! 

Could you please help me to retrieve access to it?

Thanks!
