Changing board-level permissions for a team member

I have the Edu plan. Each term I place all students on my team. Students are organized into miro spaces (each course I’m teaching is a separate space) via invitation. Students on the team cannot see the boards in a space they haven’t been invited to.

In one particular space I have the default permission for the space set to “Viewer”. However, I have one board within that space that I wish to provide temporary “editing” permissions to a few selected students ... but I can’t seem to do this ... all team members in that space seem to be treated as a single entity. I can’t see a board-level option to adjust permissions for individuals. This functionality used to exist but seems to have disappeared. Am I missing something? The only work-around I could find is to invite those specific students to the board and in doing so, set them to editors. Very clunky. Is there a better way? 

Here’s a screenshot.

@Roger Wheeler I am 99.9% sure the only way to achieve your goal using the Education Plan is — as you already mentioned — to invite the users at the board level.

If you were using the Business Plan, you could use the Guests feature (you would generate a Guest “edit” link to send to all who need edit access), and if using the Enterprise Plan, then likely the User Groups feature would work.
