Need assistance with inviting team members

Question

Invite Team Button Missing

A former manager initially set up the board to allow some of management to view information on the Trello Board.  However, this manager is no longer with our dept.

I have been updating the board for years now; however now we need to invite additional managers to the view the board but I do not see an Invite Button.

I was never the Administrator of the board.  This was the former manager.

Hi Julie,

Allow me to step in for Carolina, as she's not available today 🙂

To copy a board, open the board's menu > click More > choose Copy board.

It's also worth mentioning that when a board is copied, cards and their descriptions will be copied over to the new board, but comments or card activity won't, unfortunately.

This article provides some additional information on how to copy a board: https://support.atlassian.com/trello/docs/copying-cards-lists-or-boards/

Good Morning Carolina:

Thank you for your response.  Yes, I was able to share the board and invite team members.  Many of them have not accepted at present but more time may be needed.

Would you please provide instruction on how to copy a board just in case we decide at some point to do this.

Thanks,

That's correct. When you create a Workspace, you are set as admin automatically.
In this case, as it's a copy of the board, you would need to invite the members again, but after that, it would be easier to manage the members.

I'm glad that you were able to share the board with other members. If you plan to add more people, it's worth asking if this person that helped you can add you as admin.
