Please prioritize this. It would be very difficult to use wekan in an organizational setting without such feature.

Thats what I'm thinking. Actually, it may even be better to implement some sort of GROUP functionality.

E.g.:
Organization hosts a Wekan instance internally
Org has several internal groups.
Users are added to groups.
Boards can be declared to belong to a Group.
All users in the same group can view the group.

This would eliminate the need to manually add each individual user that should have access to the board.

Would also like to see this implemented. We are testing Wekan as an organizational program at work and it'd be nice to not have to specify users every time I make a board.

A simple mid-level publicity options would be enough for our use case: every registered user should be able to see every public board, but the boards should not be visible to outside users like the current Public-setting

I think the way "public" boards are not seen by any existing user (they need to be invited to see the board), is more a bug than a feature, it doesn't "feel" public... We don't need groups at the moment, only "public" (seen/editable by any user) boards and "private" boards, as it is meant to work at the moment :)
Auto-adding is perhaps not the best way to implement it but we're looking into scripting auto-add for public boards as a dirty workaround... which is really not the way it should be...

A page with list of public boards would be so much better.

UP +1 to this feature. I agree I think the way public boards work at the moment doesn't feel "public" like we are used to.
The fact that we can share a public board via a link is great but, as a logged user to see all the public boards and my private board seems logic to me. Otherwise, the setting "public" won't be used often ...
Any idea if someone took this feature on ?

Would this be a separate view like "My Boards' or an addition to that view?

The js query would be simple enough:

return Boards.find({ archived: false, permission: 'public', }, { sort: ['title'], })

On the user's homepage of wekan, I suggest he sees all public boards (with a limit and the usual "expand arrow" .. ),
And below having "my boards".

There could be buttons at top bar for:

My Boards

Public Boards

Subtask Boards

Good idea to separate boards into category ! But how do you categorize a board as a subtask board ? As sometimes users define their "master board" as the subtask board aswell.
The message in the visibility menu with the "private or public" setting should be changed to let users know that a public board would be seen by all others users

Well, maybe it could be like:

Boards: Starred [_] | My [X] | Subtask Master [_] / Child [_] | Public [_]

There is also related Top Level Boards issue for other way to categorize.

Admin Panel could also have options like:

[_] Disable Public Boards

[_] Disable Subtasks

[_] Disable Custom Fields

[_] Show list of Public Boards to all users. (Default is show only to Admin)

What do you all think?

I presume you have a lot of boards. What kind of categorization would work best for you?

Currently we have 10895 boards of which 331 are public so it could present us with a bit of a monster but some configuration in the admin panel would be useful for our kind of edge case.

I like the idea of showing my boards and starred boards by default and then the user has to pick to see public boards.

That many boards makes me think of pagination, maybe with selectable amount of boards per page.

Yea that could work nicely. Either push the starred boards to the top or default to show starred boards only

I don't think subtask boards should even be displayed on the boards page. There should be a new point "subtasks" (such as templates), and then the subtask boards should also be properly named and not all just called ^originalboardname^.

This looked so terribly wrong that I thought it was a database corruption and thereby I just deleted all subtasks of the user by getting rid of these boards.
