Permissions in VIA® are used to define what users can and can't do within each Board. Each Board has their own members and own permission settings. There are two default Roles built into VIA® which are the Admin and User roles. An Admin of a Board as all permissions available to themselves. Users will only have permission to view and edit Cards. They will have no ability to modify other properties within the Board. If you want some Users to have more permissions, but not all permissions, you can create your own Role and assign the User that role. You can follow the guides below if you want step-by-step guides on how to add and edit permissions of Users.
