Controlling who can post and vote using permissions
In this article
Introduction
You can control how customers and your team use your board in a number of ways. This is to support certain use cases:
- You want customers or team members to vote on specific ideas rather than add their own
- You want to show customers and B2B clients what you are working on but don’t want them to contribute to the board directly
- You only want moderators to add comments to feedback rather than everyone
- You want to hide the vote counts so that they don’t influence others
What you can control using permissions
Feature Upvote allows you to control six actions:
- Who can add suggestions
- Who can add comments to suggestions
- Who can vote
- Who can see the vote counts
- Who can add images to suggestions
- Who can add images to comments
In each case, you can give permission to
- Everyone (the default)
- Moderators only
- No-one
