How are board privacy and data access policies configured?

Problem This Solves

Configure private boards, restrict access to verified team members, and enforce access boundaries.

When to Use This

Board Facilitator privileges or Board Creator status on a target LetRetro retrospective.

Prerequisites

• Board Facilitator privileges or Board Creator status on a target LetRetro retrospective.

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Open Board Settings: From the upper navigation bar inside your retrospective board, click the gear icon to open settings.
2. Locate the Privacy toggle: Under General settings, toggle the Make Board Private switch to enable restricted access.
3. Review member restriction: When private mode is active, only users explicitly added to the board's member roster can open the board.
4. Prevent open link sharing: Non-invited users who click a private board URL will encounter an Access Denied barrier and cannot view feedback cards.
5. Manage member access: Open the Members tab to invite colleagues or remove former collaborators who no longer require access.

Expected Outcome

Your retrospective board is configured with strict private access policies to protect team sprint discussions.

Troubleshooting & Realistic Tips

• Public boards remain accessible to anyone possessing the direct board URL; always verify privacy settings for sensitive retrospectives.
