Boards can be public, read-only, private, or limited to certain users through user roles.

Learn how to:


Public boards

All posts made on public boards are visible to everyone who visits them.

This means anyone who can find your board, will see all posts on the public board. They will also appear in Google search results, etc.


Read-only board

You can disable posting on a board so only the admins can create posts under this board. Users can still vote/comment on posts.

Here's how to make a board read-only:

  1. Go to Dashboard β†’ Settings β†’ Feedback board

  2. Click edit on the board you wish to make read-only.

  3. Check the Disable posting checkbox

  4. Click on Change Board


Private boards

Posts on a private board are only visible to administrators and help keep internal feedback away from the public.

Here's how to make a board private:

  1. Go to Dashboard β†’ Settings β†’ Feedback board

  2. Click edit on the board you wish to make private.

  3. Check the Private board checkbox

  4. Click on Change Board


Limited access boards

You can also restrict boards' access only to certain user roles. This can be done via user roles, available on our Enterprise plan.

Limiting access to boards with user roles in Featurebase.

Allowing a certain role only to access a board:

  1. Go to Dashboard β†’ Settings β†’ Feedback board

  2. Choose the board you wish to allow only specific users to access

  3. Click on the role you just created, such as Paid Users

  4. Click on 'Change Board'

Now only users with that role can view or create posts under the board.
