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 what you are working on but don’t want them to contribute to the board directly
• You only want moderators to be able 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
