[Previous title: Give Permissions to Change a Board / Make Users "Owners"?]

Hi everyone, I'm terribly sorry if this question is asked elsewhere, but I couldn't find anything in the FAQ nor the docs.

Is there a possibility to give members of a board more permissions/to make them board owners, so they can also add columns/lists, if they want to?

The context is that we are a small team with several boards, and it would be nice to allow the team more freedom in how to structure their boards.

In our installation (Wekan 4.70.0) not even an admin can change the boards that were not created by her/himself.

I hope my question is clear enough, if not, don't hesitate to ask for more details.

Best, Clemens

          Question is, is having Wekan Open Source and free for commercial use enough for someone to spend their time contributing to Wekan docs etc

                      good docs are quite important I think. but of course it takes time and effort, so I absolutely understand your prioritization. it was not meant as criticism. the work you do on this tool is amazing – thank you!

                                  Hmm, I see your point. Of course it should not look like advertising or a corporation with dozens of employees. It's a fine line ... but I do like the sandstorm page, it's very clear communication in my opinion. I guess it's also a matter of where you're coming from. If you have some design background, you want everything to be more designed. If you are a hacker, you want every tool to be operable via CLI. It's quite subjective.

                                    More designed is better, if it's an improvement in some way. And still different not exactly same as in some other website.

                                          As a new user I did find the documentation a bit hard to navigate when compared to other projects. Having threads and pathes of info here and there didn't help really.

                                          I think the best bang for your buck would be creating some solid installation instructions for docker etc. Reducing the friction of install will help the community grow and help the project gain more traction. (I found a quite a bit, )

                                            I found quite a few rapit trails when installing Wekan on docker-compose. I had to piece together info from out dated tutorials, broken github links and then had to further research to find out how to create my first user. It

                                              It could have taken 15 minutes from start to finish, but it took more like 2 hours because the documentation was confusing.

                                                You're rest API documentation is fantastic though! Once I was up and running I got going in no time!

                                                Only issue I had was with login. Docs say <token> but in actual fact it's "Bearer <TOKEN>" . If there was a quick not about that I could have saved 2 hours of frustration.

                                                    It's just that I don't know what is confusing and what would be better. I'm too close to Wekan and know Wekan docs too well to understand how to improve it. Some outsider like you will see it much better.
