Who can access the Board Settings in a project?

Who can access/edit the Board settings in a project? Only the users mentioned as Administrators in Board Settings or the Project Admin's of the project where the board is located also can access/edit the board settings(like Columns, Swimlanes, etc..)

And when ever we create a new Kanban board, I see by default the swimlanes are based on Queries and there is query by default with the name Expedite, which no one created. Is this by default for all the Kanban Boards?

Hi @Samuel Smiles P 

To configure the board and any of its settings, you must be either:

• a project administrator for the location of the board

• a board administrator for the board itself

Refer to https://support.atlassian.com/jira-software-cloud/docs/configure-a-company-managed-board/

And yes, that is the default configuration in the product :)
