Guests and private boards
Private boards keep sensitive work to the people on them. Guests let people outside your team work on a single board without seeing anything else.
Make a board private
- Open the board and click the visibility tag in the header (it says Workspace visible).
- Choose Only added members. The tag changes to Private board.
- Add people from the board settings menu → Board members → Add from workspace.
To open it to everyone again, choose Everyone in the workspace.
Invite a guest to one board
- Open the board and click Invite in the header, or open the board settings menu → Board members.
- Under Invite by email, enter the person's email address and click Invite.
- They get an email and join as a guest with access to that board only.
Pending guests show under Invited, where you can Copy link or Revoke.
Good to know
- On a private board, only the people on it can open its tasks. For everyone else, it doesn't appear in the boards list or in search results.
- If you add someone who's already in the workspace, they're added to the board straight away; no invitation is needed.
- Guests see only the boards they've been added to, on every screen.
- Guests can't change who can see a board.
- Only owners and admins can send invitations, including guest invitations.
- The Free plan allows 3 guests per board. Pro and Business allow unlimited guests. See Plans and limits.
- Removing someone from a private board takes away their access to its tasks right away.
