If I share a board with a member of my team as 'member' are they able to make changes to the board? Can they add, edit, move tasks?
Can describe more Is this with Jira cloud or DC ? or Trello?
In Jira, permissions are more granular and can be configured by the administrator. Typically, a Member (someone with project access) can:
Create Issues/Tasks: YesEdit Issues/Tasks: Yes, if they have the "Edit Issues" permissionMove Issues/Tasks: Yes, if they have the "Move Issues" permissionDelete Issues/Tasks: Yes, if they have the "Delete Issues" permission
in trello
In Trello, when you add someone as a Member to a board, they have the following permissions:
Add Cards: YesEdit Cards: YesMove Cards: YesDelete Cards: YesAdd Lists: YesEdit Lists: YesMove Lists: Yes
@Jeni Machon yes adding someone as a member means they can do those things. If you want to limit what someone can do, you do have a few options.
If your board is part of a premium workspace, you can add someone and give them a role of Observer, which will only allow them to view or comment on cards (not add, edit or move cards).
You can also go to the board settings to tweak a few other permission settings, like preventing commenting from anyone, or preventing anyone besides admins from adding people to the board. But to prevent someone from editing content on your boards and being part of your board, you'll need them to be an Observer.
Depending on what you're trying to accomplish, you could make your board public and not add those people you do not want to edit your board, but instead just directly send them a link to the board. Since it's public, they'll be able to view the content, but since they aren't members, they won't be able to edit it.
@Jeni Machon if this answer was helpful, would you mind accepting it so folks who have the same question can see there's an answer in this thread?
