How do I allow someone to add a card, comment and reply, but not edit the admin settings of a card?

Question

Hello. I'm a little confused.

I'm sure when i created my board that cards were able to be created by any Trello user.

Then i changed a couple of settings regarding teams, and now cards cannot be created by anyone other than me.

I've changed all the settings back as far as i could find, and have even deleted the teams, still only I can create cards on my public board.

How can i fix this? or will i have to delete the entire board and start again?

What I'm trying to do:

Allow people to create cards within two specific lists. (Bug Reports & Feature Request)
Disallow people to edit the other lists.

Why? I'm trying to use Trello as a Development Bugtracker for an app, where users of the app can report a bug or send in a feature request. etc.

Hi Daniel,

Thanks for that!

Right now, in order to let people add cards to public boards, you'll need to invite them to become members of the boards. However, once they become members, they'll be able to add cards to whichever list from the board. Here's more information about setting the visibility of a board to public, private, or team-visible: https://help.trello.com/article/789-changing-the-visibility-of-a-board-to-public-private-or-team

Because you may not want to invite all team members to the board so they can create new cards, as a workaround, I'd suggest adding a car with an online form so they can submit their requests or bugs. Then, integrate the online form with Trello (via Zapier), so that new cards get created upon submission.

I hope that helps!
