In addition to individual board permissions, you can specify detailed permissions for the boards. You can open the detailed permissions settings in two ways.

## Option 1

First, click the edit settings icon next to the required board in the boards list.

Then open the “**Advanced Setup**” tab and scroll down to “**Permissions**.”

Then open the “**Advanced Setup**” tab and scroll down to “**Permissions**” as described above. Here is how the full block of detailed board permissions looks.

*Board permissions*


Use the “**Everyone can edit settings**” checkbox to provide access to the settings for all users.

The “**Boards admin**” field defines users who have access to the board settings.

Here, you can see the same “**Default user permissions**” field with the same values you would see in the admin panel. You can add SharePoint groups to these fields or select a default access level for all licensed users.

## Types of detailed permissions

Here are the types of detailed permissions for individual boards.

**Edit**—users with “edit” permission have full access to manage all the board tasks. They can edit all the board content but do not have access to the board settings.

**View only**—users with defined “view only” permission can view the board, cards, attached files, history, and charts but cannot change them.

**No access**—users with “no access” permission cannot view or edit the board, cards, charts, or history. This field has higher priority than others.

**Edit only own tasks**—if this permission is selected, the user can edit only their tasks (except users with “edit” permission) by default. They can create a task but cannot assign it to someone else.

*Default permissions*


Only board admins can delete boards.

A user can only be added to a single content permissions field (edit, edit only own tasks, view only, or no access). If a user is added to a field and is already selected in another field, an error is displayed: “**User permissions are already specified**.” You can assign them to edit, edit only own tasks, view only, or no access by adding the user to the corresponding list.

## Boards migration

If you are an existing customer and your board is being migrated, the board owner may not be known. In these cases, we automatically enable the “**Everyone can edit settings**” checkbox.
