Zomello Server: people and sharing ​

How accounts, shared boards and the Admin page work once a Zomello Server is running.

Signing in ​

Open the server's address in a browser (or add it in Settings > Servers in the Zomello app). Sign in with the username and password an admin gave you. Change your password and display name in Settings > Account.

Your own boards ​

Everyone has their own boards. Nobody else sees them unless you share them.

Sharing a board ​

  1. Open the board > ⋯ > Share…
  2. Type a person's username and invite them.
  3. They see the invitation on their Home page and accept it.

Everyone on a board can add, change and complete cards, and changes show up live for everyone.

The board's owner canOthers on the board can
Invite and remove peopleSee who's on it (People on this board…)
Make someone else the ownerLeave board
Archive or delete the boardAdd, edit and complete cards

A small people icon in the menu marks boards that are shared.

The Admin page (admins only) ​

Admin in the menu:

  • Server: how many people, boards and cards, how much is stored, the version, and where the data lives. A database backup is kept every day (the last 14); Download a backup now gives you one.
  • People: Add a person (Zomello suggests a password and gives you sign-in details to send), rename, make admin or remove admin rights, set a new password, turn an account off (signs them out everywhere) or back on, delete an account (their boards are handed to you).
  • Boards: every board on the server. Change its owner, add or remove people, or delete it for everyone.

Forgotten admin password ​

On the server: docker exec -it zomello zomello-server reset-password <username>. More in Server backups, recovery and security.
