card level permissions
Asked by Jassim Alhaider:

I am trying to find a way so that every member can have access or can only see the card\\s related to his job or task but he will not be able to see other cards or even lists on the board.

There will be more than 15 members and about 45 different cards (tasks) for the same project. So what I need is that each member will only be allowed to see the cards(tasks) assigned to him but not the other cards on that board.

I am afraid you are not able to do that in Trello. Looks like for your requirements Jira Business will match your expectations way better.

Thanks and good luck!

If it's just a matter of people being able to clearly see what they should be working on then they can just filter the board to show only cards they're assigned to:

<https://help.trello.com/article/787-filtering-search-cards-on-a-board>

The keyboard shortcut for this is "q".

If this is a security risk, then is it that the very existence of the task is a secret? Or just that some information is sensitive? Is it that you're worried about people maliciously interacting with tasks that aren't theirs?

As I said, bot possible to do that with Trello.

You might consider Jira then.

Thanks and good luck

Thank you very much for your support.

I did a similar implementation for a client recently using Trellinator. For example this is the function that creates the linked card:

Depending on your workflow you might then like to synch comments, attachments, checklist completions and so on from the person's own board back to the master. You can read more about Trellinator here:

As [@Antonio Panea](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1879188) said, access is at a board level but there is sometimes a way to achieve the outcome you need in a different way

I am afraid it is not possible to do that.

Every member in a board will be able to see everything.

Better you create different boards for that or jumping to Jira.

Thanks!
