Hello,

 

My board was closed, and I have no way of contacting the admin who created the board.

 

Can I be granted access to the board so I can back it up?

 

Thankyou.

Hi @Aishwarya Rameshbabu welcome to Atlassian community.

 

Since you cannot contact the board admin, the only workable solution is to seek direct support from Atlassian. They will verify your relationship with the board and may grant temporary access or transfer the board ownership.

 

Steps:

 

The support team will verify your information against their database. If your proof is sufficient, they may: 

  • Temporarily re-open the board for you to export the data (for backup).
  • Grant you temporary admin rights so you can re-open it yourself.
  • Initiate a permanent Board Admin transfer process.

 

The official Trello documentation link -Recover a Workspace or board when the admin is gone.
