Board & Folder Permissions, Restricted Access Visibility & Bug Fixes

New Features

🔐 Advanced Permissions for Boards & Folders

Building on the existing permissions system for workstreams and items, you can now set granular access controls on perpetual boards, cycle boards, and board folders.

Permissions can be managed at the user, team, and organization level, giving you full control over who can view, edit, or manage boards and folders.

  • Manage Permissions dialog - Right-click any board or folder and select "Permissions" to open the unified permissions dialog. Search for users or teams and assign access levels.
  • Permission inheritance - Child boards inherit permissions from their parent folder. Custom permissions can be set at any level to override inherited access.
  • Context menu respects access - Edit, Move, Delete/Archive, and "New Folder" options are now shown or hidden based on your actual permission level (canUpdate, canDelete). No more seeing actions you can't perform.
  • Real-time permission updates - Permission changes are broadcast via Pusher, so all connected users see access changes immediately without a page refresh.
  • Stale entity cleanup - When a user loses access to a board or folder, it is automatically removed from their local view on the next data fetch.

Navigate to any board folder's context menu or board card's kebab menu to manage permissions.

🔒 Restricted Board Visibility in Items Table

When viewing items assigned to a board you don't have access to, the Board column now shows a lock icon with "Restricted" text instead of "Unplanned", making it clear the item is planned — you just can't see where.

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed time spent cell selecting the row - Clicking the Time Spent cell in the Items Table no longer triggers row selection. The click event is now properly stopped from propagating, so it opens the time tracking dialog as intended.

Improvements

  • Added createdBy tracking on boards and board folders for ownership-aware permission logic.
  • Removed Commenter permission level from boards (kept only on work items where it makes sense).
