Roles

| Редактор (editor) | change content, comment, share (if policy allows), export, take a backup, facilitate |
| Со-владелец (co-owner) | everything Редактор can, plus manage the board and appoint co-owners |
| Владелец (owner) | everything, including transferring ownership and deleting |

(*) An editor can share only if the organisation policy allows it.
Co-owner is a management role. Appointing, promoting, demoting or removing a co-owner
requires board.manage. board.share is not enough, even when a person grants the role to
themselves.
Sources of a role
| Source | How it appears |
|---|---|
| Direct grant | the role is granted to a person on the board |
| Team | the person is in a team, the role is granted to the team |
| Organisation | the role is granted to the whole organisation; a guest does not inherit it |
| Public link | a board property; grants board.read only |
When several sources apply, the strongest role wins.
How a link differs from a role
| Public link | Role on the board | |
|---|---|---|
| Account needed | no | yes |
| What it grants | read only | the capabilities of the role |
| Comments | unavailable | with board.comment |
| Export | forbidden | per role (board.export) |
| Backup | forbidden | per role (board.backup) |
| Password and expiry | yes | no |

Access: organisation, team, board, role — why the model is built this way.
