Hi. @david thanks for creating this theme component!

I’ve come across an issue, though. Some users when moving topics around get the following message:

> You are not permitted to view the requested resource.

I have it on the tags mode. Here are some of the behaviors:

- when moving with admin account it works fine
- when moving the post with the same account that created it it works fine
- when moving the post with a non-admin account which did not create it, the error shows up.

I think this has to do with the fact that only the original creator and moderators/admins can change tags (and consequently the board columns).

Is this expected to happen?

Did you find a solution for this issue?  
I would also like users to move topics that they didn’t create between Kanban columns

Nope, sadly I didn’t. But I also did not investigate much further.

Thanks.  
My workaround is to make everyone who needs to use the Kanban board - a moderator. But that certainly doesn’t apply to most use cases…

Perhaps you could make a group and add that group as moderators for the kanban category.
