Accounts own Boards
(So it matters who's the Account Owner)
As a Kerika user, you have an individual Account
You can create as many boards in your Account as you like, and each board can kept private, shared with specific people, or made available to the public to view. There are no limits to the number of boards that can be owned by any Account.
Each account is associated with a specific email address:
- You can sign up with a Google ID; we will store your Kerika files in your Google Drive.
- You can sign up a Box ID; we will store your files in your Box account.
- And if you sign up directly, with any email you like; we will take care of everything for you and you don't have to deal with Google or Box.
(And, yes, you can create more than one account if you like – although we wouldn't really encourage it – by using different email addresses to sign up.)
You are an Account Owner; you have an Account Team
Your Account Team is everyone who is working on any of the boards that you own.
When you add someone to one of your board teams as a Team Member, they become part of your Account Team.
(Visitors don't count.)
Here's an example: you have three boards with some people working as Team Members and people viewing as Visitors.
(The Team Members are highlighted here in red squares, and the Visitors in circles.)
Everyone who is a Team Member, on any of your boards, is part of your Account Team. People who are part of your Account Team can create boards in your account; you will own these boards.
You are the boss of your Account
As Account Owner, you have ultimate authority over all boards that exist in your account:
- You can add or remove people from any board team.
- You can change the workflow of any Task Board or Scrum Board.
- You own all the files associated with your boards.
You can access other Accounts, if their Owners let you
When another Kerika user adds you to one of the boards as a Team Member, you become part of their Account Team, which means you can create new boards owned by these people.
So at any time you could be working on some boards that you own – and on some other boards that are owned by other people.
When you view someone else's Account, you can only see those boards that you can access: boards where you are part of the team, and boards that are open to the public to view.
