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

How you can make changes

Go to your Feature Upvote dashboard.

Select ‘Settings’ from your dashboard.
