Why is a company admin not automatically owner of all boards? Tedious

Hi!

We recently switched to enterprise. I am the company admin, now tasked with cleaning up all the old boards and moving them to the desired teams. However, as im not the owner of all those boards, it's very tedious to move all the boards, since i have to manually assign myself as owner (which is not desirable either, seeing as the previous owner loses ownership), then move the boards one by one.

I see that there is not a feature allowing me to move all boards, or become owner of all boards.

This seems very weird to me, why do i as company admin not have all the rights that there are? Am i missing something?

Hi ​@Jelmer Koedood,

 

I understand how tedious this process can be. 

 

As a Company Admin, you can transfer board ownership manually or export and re-create boards in a different team. If you're managing a large-scale cleanup, you might want to explore Content Admin permissions (available in Enterprise), which allow you to manage and delete content without taking ownership.

 

I’d recommend reaching out to supports if you'd like to see an option to streamline board transfers at the admin level. Let me know if you need help with that!
