Every OpsBay site — including trial accounts — includes a shared Kanboard instance with a dedicated Manager account for each user.
Overview
Kanboard is a minimalist, open-source Kanban system that focuses on clarity and efficiency. OpsBay provides a shared Kanboard instance for each site, and every user on the site (including trial users) automatically receives:
- their own Kanboard user, and
- Manager-level permissions, allowing full control of boards and workflows.
This offers a powerful, frictionless way to test Kanboard or use it for personal and small team planning.
How Kanboard Works on Opsbay
- Each OpsBay site includes one shared Kanboard instance
- All users — paid or trial — get their own Manager role account
- Users can create projects, boards, lists, tasks, and tags
- Boards may be visible to other users depending on role and permissions
- OpsBay manages updates, availability, and backups
- This provides a simple, ready-to-use Kanban solution with zero setup required.
Important Notes
Even though Kanboard runs as a shared service on each OpsBay site:
- User content is isolated — users cannot see each other’s boards or tasks
- Each user’s Manager role applies only to their own data
- Boards are private by default unless explicitly shared
- This setup is suitable for personal or team use without leaking information
- Safe for everyday project management (but not for highly confidential data)
Who It’s For
- Developers managing tasks and backlog
- Freelancers organizing personal or client projects
- Small teams that need simple project management
- Users who prefer open-source, lightweight tools
- Anyone testing Kanban workflows via the trial account
