### `GET /:account_slug/boards/:board_id/accesses`
Returns a paginated list of active account users with their access status for the specified board.
__Response:__
```json
{
"board_id": "03f5v9zkft4hj9qq0lsn9ohcm",
"all_access": false,
"users": [
{
"id": "03f5v9zjw7pz8717a4no1h8a7",
"name": "David Heinemeier Hansson",
"role": "owner",
"active": true,
"email_address": "david@example.com",
"created_at": "2025-12-05T19:36:35.401Z",
"url": "http://fizzy.localhost:3006/897362094/users/03f5v9zjw7pz8717a4no1h8a7",
"avatar_url": "http://fizzy.localhost:3006/897362094/users/03f5v9zjw7pz8717a4no1h8a7/avatar",
"has_access": true,
"involvement": "watching"
},
{
"id": "03f5v9zppzlksuj4mxba2nbzn",
"name": "Kevin Clark",
"role": "admin",
"active": true,
"email_address": "kevin@example.com",
"created_at": "2025-12-05T19:36:35.401Z",
"url": "http://fizzy.localhost:3006/897362094/users/03f5v9zppzlksuj4mxba2nbzn",
"avatar_url": "http://fizzy.localhost:3006/897362094/users/03f5v9zppzlksuj4mxba2nbzn/avatar",
"has_access": false,
"involvement": null
}
]
}
```
- `has_access` indicates whether the user has access to the board
- `involvement` is `"watching"`, `"access_only"`, or `null` (when the user does not have access)
- When `all_access` is `true`, all active account users have access to the board
- The `users` array contains the current page of results; if there are more users, follow the `Link` response header with `rel="next"`
To change who has access, use `PUT /:account_slug/boards/:board_id` with the `user_ids` parameter.
## Board Publications
Publishing a board makes it publicly accessible via a shareable link, without requiring authentication. Only board administrators can publish or unpublish a board.
## `POST /:account_slug/boards/:board_id/publication`
Publishes a board, generating a shareable public link.
__Response:__
```
