Aurora: About the "Boards" set of permissions

Note: This article refers to the Boards set of permissions available at any level of the community. If you’re looking for information about how to set permissions at the board level of the community, see Set permissions at the board level.

You can adjust permissions related to boards at the community, container (category & group), and board level.

Some permissions are set to Deny by default while others are set to Grant. At the container and board levels, permission defaults and role permissions are inherited from the parent level. In those cases, the Inherit button is displayed in green to indicate that the permission was set to Grant at the parent level or red to indicate that the permission was set to Deny at the parent level. As an admin, you can manage these permissions. When available, links to more information regarding a feature or permission have been provided.

To manage board-related permissions at the community level:

Note: To manage this permission at a lower level, go to the [Place] Permissions page and edit the permission defaults for that level. To manage this permission for a particular role, go to the [Place] Permissions page at the desired level of the community and edit the permissions of the individual roles.

1. Go to the Roles and Permissions page for the community.
2. Beside Community Permissions Defaults, click Edit.
3. In the left panel, click Boards.
4. Select Deny or Grant as required for the following permissions:
   • See boards (Grant by default)

Unless you have specified different permissions for certain roles or levels below the community level (a category, group, or board), these selections affect all members of the community.
