Can we limit VTB to view only for some users?

[trishlipe]

I have been asked by out IT Security team if we can make one of their VTB view only.

I think the main challenge will be the users we want to limit to view only would have access to create and edit their own VTB's. So we would be locking down the VTB not changing the users access to view only. 

Any guidance is appreciated.

Out of the box read access to a board is based upon the owner defined in the Visual Task Board (vtb_board) record as well as the board members.  The ACLs for the vtb_board table are utilizing a script include called VTBBoardSecurity.  Then to write/edit a board, it is simply checking if that user has read access - in other words any user that can see the board can edit it.

You can modify the ACLs to further restrict based on your needs.
