Supported Global settings

The option to share private boards, add members, or see the entire list of Users may not always be visible, depending on the global settings set for your organization:

    • External Users are licensed AdaptiveWork users who may or may not be part of your company. External user can change or create Boards only for himself - unless they are Editor on shared boards. Note that depending on the 3.9 global setting, External Users may not be able to view all users in the system, and only their direct reports, managers, and group members.
    • Internal Users can share boards if the 3.12 Global settings is disabled. If 'On' only Admin and Super Users can share boards while all other users can only create Private boards.
    • Admin and Super Users can always share boards when they are Editors or Owners.
