Creating limited access boards within a Team

Question

We have a team of 25 people that have access and use different shared boards within the team but I have a case where I need to have a board created with only a smaller access group with permissions to access and edit the board. Can Trello do this?

I have Enterprise level subscription for my entire team.

Thanks for the thoughts Vero, I thought that this should work too but when I created the separate team I noticed three things.

1. The system showed the new board in the main teams page (even when I specifically created it in the separate team;

2. The new team did not inherit the Enterprise level privileges of the account I have;

3. On testing with another team member (one only in the main team not the new team) we found that the other member could not only see the new board, they could also open and make changes to it.

Any additional advice would be appreciated.

Hi @James Macartney

If I have understood you correctly, you must first create a team with the people who need to see that board and then you assign that team to said board, only they can see it.
