Project permissions

A project can have two kinds of people: project managers and project members.

• Project managers can manage the configuration of the project and access to the reports.
• Project members are standard users, they have less privileges.

When you create a new project, you are automatically assigned as a project manager.

Kanboard administrators can access to everything but they are not necessary project members or managers. Those permissions are defined at the project level.

Permissions for each role

Project members

• Use the board (create, move and edit tasks)
• Remove only tasks created by themselves

Project managers

• Use the board
• Configure the project
  • Share, rename, duplicate and disable the project
  • Manage swimlanes, categories, columns and users
  • Edit automatic actions
• CSV Exports
• Remove tasks of any project members
• Access to the analytics section

They cannot remove the project.

Manage users and permissions

To define project roles, go to the project configuration page then click on User management.

User management

From there, you can choose to add new members, change the role or revoke user access.

Allow everybody

If you choose to allow everybody (all Kanboard users), the project is considered public.

That means there is no role management anymore. Permissions per user cannot be applied.
