Set permissions for non-members

Very new to Monday.com so forgive my ignorance, but our experienced implementation partner told us this couldn’t be done so I’m reaching out.

Our organization wants all of our Workspaces to be open to view for every member of the organization. Nothing on our Monday.com instance is private or confidential, so we’re happy to share for full transparency so everyone has full visibility on what other teams are working on.

My initial understanding was that Non-Members could view a Workspace, but not edit it, and someone had to be made a Member of the Workspace to edit it. However, I logged in yesterday to discover a non-member happily editing one of the draft items I entered into that Workspace.

There is no capacity for me to limit non-members from editing content in the Workspace, and that is bewildering to me. There are some folks who I want to have edit access in one Workspace, but we have seven others I don’t want them touching because it’s not related to their work and it’s just increasing the risk of human error. I don’t want to have to close the workspaces so nobody can see because that defeats half the point of Monday.com for us.

Can non-members be made view-only on an open Workspace, or at least have their own permissions settings?

Thanks very much!

Hi, we’ve used two different methods to adjust to these needs:

  1. Editing the columns to “restrict column editing” or “restrict column view”
  2. Edit board permissions>Triple dot on the top right hand corner>Permissions>Only edit assigned requests etc.
