# Who can open this board

A read-only sharing summary shown when you are connected and a board is selected. The badge reports the widest of link, team and organisation access - not just the board's headline setting - and says "Sharing unknown" rather than guessing if Miro returns no policy. Direct membership is deliberately left out of the badge and shown in the people list instead.

## Worth knowing

* Embedding a board does not grant access to it. Readers see the board only if the board's own Miro sharing lets them; otherwise they get Miro's sign-in or permission screen inside the frame. Nothing in Confluence can change that.
* Display mode, Width and Height do not appear in the configuration panel until a Board URL is set.
* Typing in the Board URL field silently clears the stored board id and name, so the collapsed "Selected board" summary loses its title until Miro can be asked again.
* The board does not respond to the mouse until you click it. A transparent "Click to interact" overlay stops the frame swallowing page scrolling, and it re-arms when the pointer leaves the macro.
* Anonymous and unlicensed readers can see the board, because the view needs no server call, but get nothing that requires a Miro connection: no board names, no sharing summary, no member list, and no gallery. Every Miro-backed request requires a signed-in Atlassian account.
* Board previews and board names behave differently: previews are derived from the board id and work without a connection, but names need a Miro call, so an unconnected viewer sees real thumbnails labelled with the board link instead of its title.
