Hi, I got our office setup with Trello and I am the Admin. I created various boards and didn't realize they all defaulted to "Workspace Visible". it will not allow me to change the visibility to "Private" on any of the boards in the workspace. It lets me click the checkmark to change to private but when i click the button to "Change" it does not stick.

 

Here is a board link and images of me changing the vis and it reverting back: https://trello.com/b/oCcyiHtt

If I recall correctly, if admins don't have permission to add private boards, then you will see this behavior. You can set a workspace so that not even admins have permission to do this ("nobody" is a selectable option).

 

To change this, navigate to the Trello homepage (after you are logged in), select your Workspace on the left, and select "Settings")

If this doesn't work, let me know!
