Introduction

Collaborators added to the overall workspace are called Members whereas collaborators invited at the board level are considered Guests. Guest seats are available at the Pro subscription level and above. Members have access to your entire workspace and Guests only have access to the specific board or boards that they have been invited to. Members and Guests of all levels are required to create an Air account to access the workspace.

Users with Plus and Pro subscriptions activated before September 8, 2023 will continue to operate on a per-seat pricing model until September 8, 2024. For the latest on all of our plans, visit our Pricing page.

To see a visual chart of Member and Guest permissions, see our User Permissions Matrix.

Members

Members are invited through the Settings and Members tab in the workspace. Each Member you invite to your workspace has specific permissions enabled that determine what they can and cannot do in your workspace. You can toggle these permissions before inviting the user. Use the Add Members button to invite Members by email or a shareable link.

Removing Members or Guests from your workspace:

Only a workspace admin can remove Members or Guests from a workspace. This can be done in three simple steps:

  1. Have a workspace admin click on the Settings and Members tab

  2. With the Members tab selected, click the access level next to the name you want to deactivate

  3. Click the "Remove from workspace" button

The deactivated users will no longer have access to the workspace. If they need access to specific boards, images, or videos, you can send them shareable links from the board page.

Custom Permissions

Custom permissions are available on our Enterprise plan. Get additional information about our Enterprise plan here β†’
