    • Roles, Permissions, Reports: Use these tabs to manage the selected access type for the users you've chosen.

    • Search Boards: Search for a specific board by name or scroll through the list manually.

    • Select one or more boards, then use the Selected Boards Count above the list to verify the number of boards you've selected.

  • Any changes made to Roles, Permissions, or Reports will be applied to all selected users.

  • When you have finished making your changes, click Save at the bottom of the page to apply them.

  • If you've made changes then click the "X" button or anywhere outside of the Manage Users module (anywhere in the shaded area of the screen) before clicking the Save button, a Save Changes popup will appear. The available options are described below:

    • Discard: Discards all unsaved changes to roles, permissions, and board selections.

    • Cancel: Closes the popup while keeping your changes intact, but unsaved.

    • Save: Saves and applies all changes you have made.
