Inviting Additional Users to Rewind

When you invite additional users to your Rewind account, they will have access to all data captured in your backup. This includes private boards and items accessible to the admin or user who initially linked Rewind with monday.com, even if the newly invited users don’t normally have permission to view that content within monday.com.

For example, if an admin links Rewind and has access to another user’s private board, any new user invited to Rewind will also be able to see that private board—even if they can’t access it directly on monday.com.
