Description

Change the default permission model so ALL users (including anonymous) can edit by default. Boards can be marked as "protected" by an admin, making them view-only for non-designated users.

  1. Add is_protected column to boards table
  2. Add global_admins table (jeffemmett@gmail.com as initial admin)
  3. Flip getEffectivePermission logic
  4. Create BoardSettingsDropdown component with view-only toggle
  5. Add user invite for protected boards
  6. Admin request email flow

  • #1 Anonymous users can edit unprotected boards
  • #2 Protected boards are view-only for non-editors
  • #3 Global admin (jeffemmett@gmail.com) has admin on all boards
  • #4 Settings dropdown shows view-only toggle for admins
  • #5 Can add/remove editors on protected boards
  • #6 Admin request button sends email
