Permissions in Huddo Boards¶
When you invite colleagues, teams, or external parties to collaborate in your board, you can decide what level of permission to allocate to them. Below, permissions are listed from the highest access to the lowest.
See the user access permissions table at the bottom of the page for details on the functions each role has.
Owner¶
Owners have full rights to all properties and functions on a board, they can add, edit and delete all other members, lists and cards in the board. They can edit all board options, archive and delete the board.
Editor¶
An editor has the ability to create or edit lists and cards within a board. Editors cannot modify board properties or archive/delete a board. They can however add or change the board colour labels. Editors can invite and manage other members with the roles reader, author and editor (they cannot modify owners).
Author¶
A member with author permissions has the ability to create new lists and cards. They can edit the lists and cards they created, and can edit and complete any cards assigned to them. Authors can comment on any card.
Reader¶
A person allocated reader permission will have read-only access to a board. Readers will not be able to create or edit board content, with the exception of being able to comment on, and complete a task that has been assigned to them.

Making Your Board Public¶
When you activate Public Access, your board will be discoverable by anyone in your organisation. You'll be asked to select Reader, Author, or Editor to decide what level of access your organisation can have to the board. Additionally, updates that you make on your board may be included in linked activity streams such as HCL Connections, or Microsoft Teams.
To give your board public access, navigate to your desired board. Select Members and then select Public Access. Decide what level of access, Reader, Author or Editor, your organisation will have.
