Board owners (admins) can allow a non-
board
users to perform a particular transition in the
board
by configuring Organization users in the Before section of the Blueprint transition. An email template will be triggered to the non-
board
user along with the transition button for the user to perform the respective transition.
Business case

Employees must raise their asset requests, and the organization manager must accept them before the asset request team can proceed further.
