External Users shown when sharing.

Question

Hi , I am totally new to Trello so i am unsure if this is a bug or it meant to be this way.

A user has brought to my attention that when sharing something in Trello that you see external users that are not part of our organization and feels its a safety issue where we could share our Trello boards with externals, by mistake. If someone could confirm this it would be great.

Please see example bellow

This is normal... "Share" a board is actually "Give Access to board" and Trello have a global list of all users in the world.

So be extra carefull when you search that you find the right user and not someone that have a similar name (in fact I will say the mostsecure way is to share by typing in an email instead of a name)

Example of search from my private board

If you have the Enterprise plan then you can restrict sharing with people outside your organization https://trello.com/guide/enterprise/manage-permissions
