Board Seats
Board Seats are how you record the people on your board. You’ll find them under Governance → Board Constitution. Once a seat exists, you can give that member access to the board portal and invite them to board meetings.
What a seat records
Each board seat captures the member’s:
- Name
- Organization
- Term dates (when it starts and ends)
- Notes
Seat types
Choose the type that best describes the member’s role on the board:
- Director
- Observer
- Founder director
- Secretary
- Counsel
- Guest
Link a seat to a person
A seat can be linked to an existing User, Shareholder, or Member so it connects to the right person in your account. You can also record who appointed them.
Seat status
A seat is either active or inactive.
Deactivating a seat is audited and also turns off that member’s portal access automatically.
Per-seat portal access
You control portal access seat by seat:
- Toggle portal access on to generate a unique magic-link token. That board member can then sign in to the read-only board portal.
- Toggle it off to revoke their access.
For how passwordless magic-link sign-in works, see the portal guide.
Audit log
Every seat change is logged, so you have a record of activity. Logged events include:
- Created
- Updated
- Portal enabled or disabled
- Deactivated
