Your team

Inviting people

Open Team in the top bar. There are two ways in:

By email. The person gets a message with a link. You choose the role they arrive at. The invitation is bound to that address — nobody else can use it.

By a shareable link. Anyone with the link can join. Use it for a group chat or a kickoff message where you do not want to type twelve addresses.

A shareable link always joins as a member, whatever role you picked. A link can be forwarded, so it must not be able to hand out admin. If someone needs a higher role, raise it after they join.

Invitations expire after seven days. Revoking one takes effect immediately.

The three roles

Member Admin Owner
Work on boards, cards and comments
Create and delete boards
Remove anyone’s comment
Invite and remove people
Change roles
Rename the team, set the invite policy

Two rules keep a team from locking itself out, and neither can be overridden:

  • The last owner cannot be demoted or removed. A team always has someone who can administer it.
  • Nobody can change their own role. Promotion is something another person does to you.

Who may invite

An owner sets the team’s invite policy: everyone, only owners, or only people who have been given the right individually. The default is everyone, which is usually right for a team small enough to be using Noeto.

Names

Someone’s name comes from their own account. A team can override it — useful when two people share a first name, or when an account name is a lowercase handle Google supplied. The override applies only inside that team; their account is untouched, and clearing it reveals the account name again.

Removing someone

Removing a member takes effect on their next request — not at the end of their session. Their cards and comments stay on the board; the person is what leaves, not their work.

Removal also invalidates their access tokens for that team, with nothing to remember to revoke.
