Allow admin to have knowledge about existence of private boards in API

monday Apps & Developers Feature Requests - API and Apps Framework
1

As far as I know, administrators do not have access to private boards in monday.com. They are also not returned in the GraphQL API response.

This leaves me with a couple of questions:

  1. Is it possible to even be aware of a private board being present in a workspace as an administrator, without knowing its private details (only ID for example)?
  2. Is there no way to give a (system) user access to all workspaces and boards in your monday.com instance?
  3. If option 2 is not possible, what happens to private boards of a user that leaves an organisation?

Hello @timovanderkamp,

You can transfer the ownership of boards without owners (private too) from the admin section, under “Users” :smile:

But it is not possible to get data about private boards via API if you are an admin and you are not invited to that board.

Not possible either to create a super user that is automatically added to everything. You need to add a service user manually to whatever you want that user to have access to.

So let’s keep this and thank you for the request!

Cheers,
Matias
