Permissions overview
There is only one owner of a user-owned project board; this permission cannot be shared with another personal account. In addition to the owner, other people can collaborate on project boards.
There are three levels of permissions for project board collaborators:
- Read, which gives people permission to view a project board.
- Write, which gives people permission to view a project board, link repositories to a project board, and interact with a project board. For more information, see "Linking a repository to a project board."
- Admin, which gives people permission to view a project board, interact with a project board, manage project board settings, and manage other people's access to the project board.
