Focalboard administration (self.selfhosted)

Hi guys. I want to deploy focalboard as a replacement for trello in our company, my confusion is : How can I manage the focalboard instance? (Doccker) For example manage boards, manage users, limit user access so anyone from the web can't just register and use our instance.

I asked in the mattermost groups but the support groups are totally dead. No response.

I just spun a container up to test this, it disables the registration and only allows invites after the initial account has been created, it returns an error if someone accesses the registration page and tries to create an account, https://www.focalboard.com/guide/server-setup/#registering-the-first-user

To invite a user, click on the Focalboard logo in the top left, Invite users, Copy link.

There doesn't appear to be anyway to manage users or non-owned boards, you can reset a user's password through commands, https://www.focalboard.com/guide/admin/#resetting-passwords
