I removed a member from a board I'm neither member or admin of

[Chai Yeo _ANiE_]

I was admin for a board back in March this year (let's call this Board A), but then I left the team. Before I left, I made two others (let's call them Tom and Jerry) admins for the board, and then left the board. To be sure, I am neither admin nor member of Board A. It disappeared from my workspace as is expected.

Many months passed and it's now July. Last week, I was tidying up my Trello boards and removed Tom from Board B. Tom was indeed removed from Board B last week, but for some reason, he was also removed from Board A. Trello sent him a message to say I had removed him from Board A.

It appears I have removed someone from a board that I am neither member nor admin of. In fact, I have no sight of the board at all.

1) Has anyone experienced this?

Now, last week, I also removed Jerry from my workspace. I wonder if he was also removed from Board A as a result! Sadly Jerry's away on holiday and we have to wait two weeks to find out :-(

2) Can a Trello board exist without members and admins? 

3) How can we regain access to Board A if all members and admins have been removed?

Hi @Chai Yeo _ANiE_  ,Welcome to community !

If you are not the admin of Board A, you cannot remove users from it. Can you provide me with the link to the board from which the user is being removed, so I can check if there is another admin?

Thank you !

Thanks @Sakshi Verma - it is my understanding as well - that if I am not the admin of Board A, I cannot remove users from it. In fact, I'm not even a member of the board. However, Tom has been removed from Board A, and has an email from Trello saying that I have done the removing. I'm fairly certain this is a bug.

Thanks for offering to check if there is another admin. The email from Trello did provide a link to Board A. I'm hesitant to publish the link in community. The board also contains sensitive data. Is it possible to take this forward in a less public environment?
