Permission Settings

Quick reference

• 00:05 In the previous video we took a look at how we can assign a team to
• 00:09 a particular board.
• 00:11 Let's now take a look at the remaining settings within this menu.
• 00:15 So we can understand the different permissions and
• 00:18 what changing them will do to this Trello board.
• 00:22 The very first option is in regards to cover images.
• 00:26 You may recall, when you upload an attachment to a particular card,
• 00:31 an image will appear on the front.
• 00:34 This will give you the option to disable that feature,
• 00:37 if you don't wish to have such images on the front of your card.
• 00:41 Here's an example in my New Ideas list.
• 00:44 Here you can see the image that I've attached to this card, and
• 00:48 also appears as the cover.
• 00:50 If I disable this option,
• 00:52 future image attachments will no longer appear on the cover front.
• 00:58 It should be noted, as you just saw, even though I've deselected this,
• 01:02 this does not apply to existing card covers.
• 01:06 It will only apply to future image attachments.
• 01:10 Below, we have two very important permissions.
• 01:12 The first one is in regards to commenting.
• 01:15 And this is where you can choose who is allowed to comment on your cards.
• 01:21 Now the first option allows us to disable commenting altogether.
• 01:25 That means that you and
• 01:27 anyone else who has access to this board will not be able to comment.
• 01:31 The second option is for members, and
• 01:34 this is the default selection when you first create a board.
• 01:38 It will allow administrators and normal members to comment.
• 01:42 The third option is for members and observers, and
• 01:46 this will only be enabled if you subscribe to Trello
• 01:50 Business Class.
• 01:51 In Trello Business Class, you can have an observer type.
• 01:55 This is someone who is not a member of the board, but who has access to the board.
• 02:01 And perhaps you would like to give them the ability to comment as well.
• 02:06 Our fourth option is for team members and
• 02:09 this will only be available if you have assigned a team to this board.
• 02:13 So this will allow administrators, members,
• 02:16 observers, and team members to comment.
• 02:19 And lastly, is to open this board up for public comments.
• 02:24 Now this will only be available if you have made your board public.
• 02:29 That means that anyone can search
• 02:32 or find this board.
• 02:34 This maybe applicable if you are looking for feedback from your customers.
• 02:40 Remember, public members would not be able to edit or make changes to cards but
• 02:45 you may wish to hear their feedback and hear their comments within that card.
• 02:52 The second permission has to do with adding or removing members and
• 02:56 there is only two options here, now by default when first setting your board,
• 03:02 the All Members selection will be selected.
• 03:05 And that means that any member has the power to both add and
• 03:09 remove members of this board.
• 03:12 However, you may wish to only give this ability to administrators,
• 03:17 and if so, you would select the Admins option here.
• 03:22 The very last option in the Settings menu is entitled Allow Team Members to Join.
• 03:29 And again, this will be selected by default for a board.
• 03:33 What this means is that even though we have assigned or associated
• 03:38 a team with this board, we will still need to go and invite these members to join.
• 03:44 With this setting selected,
• 03:47 we will not need to invite these members and since they have access,
• 03:51 if they are a part of this HR Department they will be able to join without an invitation.
• 03:57 However, if we would like to have more control and more power over inviting these
• 04:03 members, we can deselect this option and then we will need to invite them directly.
• 04:09 So now we understand the different settings that apply
• 04:12 to a particular Trello board.
