Trello licensing

Question

Hi

I am currently trialing Trello and having a hard time figuring out how to fulfill a few important criterias that we have for the tool and which license we will need to do it,

We don't want our boards to be limited to 1 or 3 power-ups, so to meet this requirement we would need business class.

We need external partners to view our boards and be able to comment on a card. Either directly in Trello or via. Email to card. Trello has the observer role in business class, but does it only allow viewing or also to comment ?

When using business class to have no power-ups limit, how does the licensing work. If i choose to upgrade to business class i have to choose a team and all members of that team will require a license. Lets say i am a member of 3 teams within our company, will i need a business class license for each of the teams or would the license be associated with my user, so that i can be a member of several teams with 1 Business class license ?

Best regards

Martin

Hi Martin,

If you put your IT department in one team, everybody in the team has access to the team boards.

Each team member can also have private, non-team boards (and can invite colleagues individually to these boards).  However the team admin can't manage the private boards.

If you need multiple teams and the advanced management, you'd need Enterprise.

Thanks Marc

We have an IT department of 20 people who could be interested in Trello. We have different roles ranging from CIO, Developer, Supporter and Specialists.

We would like to have shared boards for the whole IT department but also private and role specific boards, where all developers could work on something within a board where they don't want other IT colleagues to have access to.

With business class i would then make an IT team of 20 members and i can organise boards into groups, but can i set permissions to allow only developers access to certain developer boards or would all team member have access to all boards ?

If business class cant limit access like that i think Enterprise would be the only option that could suit our needs, since its user based licensing and we can then just create an IT team with boards shared between all in IT and individual role based teams, for boards only relevant for them.
