Overview

Create boards where end-users are not able to see each other's names.

  • All end-users are assigned an automatically generated alias instead.

  • Canny admins will still be shown by their names.

  • An end-user will see their own name with their alias displayed next to it in (parentheses) when posting or commenting.

  • Anonymous boards are available on the Growth and Business plans


Making a board anonymous

Go to the Boards tab in your Canny settings and enable the toggle labeled "Anonymize users":


Things to note:

  • End-users will still see the real names of Canny admins (designated with a star and colored text).

  • Canny admins will always see everyone's real name if logged as an admin.

  • The Slack integration also has the option to show aliases instead of names if it's a private board:
