[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

Now I did find the answer to my question myself. Short answer: When you're board admin, you can click on the profile pic/the initials of your colleague in the board settings and change their permissions to "admin".

Thanks for providing this forum. If you ever build a team to improve the user documentation, I'd be happy to contribute something like this. :)

@kuchengrab Anyone can send new documentation as markdown text added to new issue https://github.com/wekan/wekan . Some have tried to start creating more nicely formatted documention at https://github.com/wekan/wekanhow and https://github.com/wekan/wekan-doc , anyone is welcome to send pull requests to those docs. Currently I have my hands full of coding features and fixes mentioned at Roadmap, link to Roadmap at https://wekan.github.io . It would be very nice if anyone would contribute to docs and be part of such documentation team, currently there is no documentation team.
