How does a Team Admin delete another members' board?

Let’s all upvote this to end the madness https://community.miro.com/ideas/delete-a-board-not-owned-by-administrator-352

The fact that so called “admins” are having to apply a workaround simply to delete unwanted boards they do not own after well over 2 years of threads highlighting this issue is borderline ridiculous.

The work arounds appear to be, remove the user who owns the boards or projects you want to delete as an ADMIN cleaning up the workspace, then invite the removed user back to rejoin the team and transfer ownership of all of their wanted boards/projects/custom templates back to them. 

Simply mind blowing. 

@Miro Support Team As a TRUE workspace admin, we would like (read: NEED) the ability to reassign ownership of any board or project within our TEAM.

Thanks in advance for allowing this much needed functionality.

 

As a team admin, I also need this….too many empty and unused boards. As admins, we should be able to delete boards, projects...

Ridiculous that this basic feature is not available.  

Trying to find a board in miro is impossible because of this missing functionality, admins or at least the coordinator of an enterprise account needs to be able to delete boards made by their team members.  2 years ago this was opened and the first message was that it was in the works, this seems like something that needed to be in from the start, you can remove entire team members but not remove individual boards.

Yeah, it also bugs me why Team Admin cannot delete boards within the team… Why escalate to corporate admin? Such an approach effectively leads to strengthening micromanagement practices, while I’d prefer teams to be able to manage their own work (and garbage) by themselves.

My team also needs this feature. As an admin, I’m trying to cleanup old/test boards that various people have created but I can’t. Instead I have to ping everyone who still works here and ask them to delete their individual boards, which no one does, and it remains messy.

I’m just finding out Company Admins do not have admin permissions to manage company data.

As a Company Admin, I cannot adjust users on a Project where I’m not the Owner, nor can I add myself to the Project as an Owner. I need to ask whoever the Owner is to add me as a Co-Owner, before I can do anything with the Project.

This isn’t how “admin” works on other software we use...

Why can’t Company Admins have control over their company’s data?

@Colin McCroskey - If you are a Company Admin of an Enterprise Plan, you will want to review this article → Content Admin permissions for Company Admins

And here’s a further breakdown of all admin roles in Miro → https://help.miro.com/hc/en-us/articles/14766440626834-Understand-admin-roles-and-their-privileges

Thanks, but we’re on the Business plan, so “Content Admin” doesn’t apply.
If you scroll down the Admin Roles page to Projects, there’s a lot of red X’s for stuff that’s just not possible.

When might we see the functionality of the owner being able to delete member boards? This is especially problematic on the Education plan. I can’t tell you how many random boards I have created by students that I have no ability to delete. It’s causing complications with introducing students to Miro because they can’t find boards. Please—when will this feature be available?

@Leigh Hughes - Until this is possible, the change you cold make moving forward is to your team space’s Default Sharing settings (for both boards and projects), so that only the creator can see them. E.g., with the default board sharing set to “Only board owners can access”, if a student creates 1,000 boards called “Untitled”, no one will see them until the owner chooses to make them visible to everyone else.

The Default sharing settings is not currently very helpful, so I would suggest that you have a look at this post instead:
