It would be great at a user permission level (as well as workspace possibly) to limit the archiving of items and boards, similar to how you can prevent users from deleting.
Including the option for self created items as well as all items would be a big help.
Thanks for bringing this up—this is a great callout.
Right now, monday.com gives some control at the board level to restrict who can archive or delete items (including separating out self-created vs. others’), but there’s no way to do the same at the user role or workspace level.
From what I can tell:
- Board permissions let you block archiving, but it’s all-or-nothing.
- Admin-level account permissions only cover deleting, not archiving.
It would be super helpful to have that same flexibility for archiving—like being able to say “this role can archive their own items but not others” or setting workspace-wide rules.
If this would help your team, I’d suggest raising a Feature Request. You can do that here: Latest Feature requests topics - monday Community Forum The more people asking for it, the more likely it is to get picked up.
