As an administrator of the system, we need the ability to see the data that is included on all boards
I am a new Monday.com account. I can’t believe no one has responded to this post.
YES! Admins should be “Admins”, and have full access to the entire platform. We should be able to “see” all boards from our purview.
I understand that we can see them from the Content Directory, but we must know what the board is before we can access it. We can’t even “sort” from there. We have to look at every single private board to find one that we are “not” in.
Not very efficient way to manage.
Additionally, administrators not having access to private boards in some situations may be a legal compliance issue.

Still nothing on this?
Account Admins should never be locked out of ANYTHING.
We have audits and such to do on workspaces.
come on Monday.
Completely agreed that admin should have access to everything for maintenance and support perspective. As the admin, I’m often locked out of some dashboards, private and shareable boards.
Can we also talk about how users can just easily create multiple random boards and change them to private and we will have no way to tidy the platform up?
Third is: is there a way to grant admin access to everything by default? We have set up a team for a few admin, but we need to ask the board owners to add us in every time they create a board. They often forget to do so as well! Default should make things so much easier.
Just curious if this was ever addressed anywhere by monday.com?
With changes in privacy legislation if this is not even on the roadmap I’m going to end up being forced to look at a different product, which I really don’t want to do.
I agree with all of the comments here. It is very frustrating that as an Admin I do not see all of the boards, or do not see all of the data on the boards. As an Admin (and anyone assigned to that role) we should have full access to all boards created. I have an issue right now where it tells one of my Admins they can’t access a board because there is a Private board attached to it. I have asked all users and no one has said they created a private board, so I am stuck. This person is our COO and needs that insight!
I haven’t validated this yet myself, but it sounds like you can actually turn this feature on if you have an enterprise account and reach out to your Monday.com rep:

Hi Tiffany, We do have an Enterprise Account.
This is such basic functionality I’m incredibly surprised it is not at the core of the platform. Even if this feature was not baked in by default, at least given administrators the ability to give themselves access through the content directory, The lack of this feature makes disaster recovery and compliance very difficult.
Totally agree — admins having full visibility is crucial for oversight and compliance. At Phonexa, we’ve faced similar limitations and ended up building custom permission layers through the API to get around it. Native support for this would definitely streamline governance across teams.
