Shared Workspaces?

Wekan / General · September 23, 2019 at 3:13pm

Hi there,

We are a small collective of mostly non-tech people looking at wekan as a self-hosted organisation tool. It really seems great in comparison to things like trello where you sign over all your data to some overseas company forever...

Is there something like a "shared workspace" where any boards created within it are visible and editable by everyone in the group / workspace?

This is a bit of a deal breaker because at the moment every time someone makes a new board, they are the admin, and need to add the other 25 people too it manually. This ends up hidden info and confusing admin structures. Asking who created a board, trying to get everyone added, etc.

Am I missing something vital here?

      Gradually figured out that the API Key and the login token are the same thing.

        IE the token returned from the api/users/login endpoint is used as the API key (API_KEY) in most subsequent interactions

          this was a little difficult for a novice like myself to figure out as the authorization header seems to need an extra "Bearer" object not listed in the API docs (https://wekan.github.io/api/v3.00/)

                              If anyone is interested:

                              I get a list of all the users I get a list of all the boards Then the real horror: I just use two nested loops and add every user to every board... 🤷‍♀️😬
