Board locked as View only even though I am the owner

Hi everyone,

I’m a student at SRH Hochschule and I’m part of a university Miro team called “srh 25/26”.

I am the owner of the board “Z.S.N.-Futurium”, but the board is locked in View only mode due to the Free plan limit (only 3 most recent boards editable).

The problem is that my account seems to be restricted to team-only mode:

  • I don’t have Drafts / My boards

  • I can’t create a personal team (always redirected to upgrade)

  • I can’t move the board out of the team

  • When duplicating, the board is always copied back into the same SRH team

This means I currently have no way to edit my own board, even though it’s required for a university project.

Is this a known limitation for university-managed teams, and is there any way to:

  • regain edit access, or

  • enable Drafts / personal space, or

  • move/duplicate the board outside the team without upgrading?

Any help or clarification would be really appreciated.

Thank you!

@Narmin Whoa, it sounds like you were kind of blocked. I added you to a Free Plan team that I was no longer using, made you the Team Admin, and then I left the team — it’s all yours now!

You should be able to move boards you own to that team.
