Controlling Access and Privileges

Controlling Access and Privileges

Default Privileges

By default, users are granted the following:

Access Level

All adults/parents will be able to see other members of their family. Unless you change their access level, they won't be able to see information about other members. Youth can only see their own accounts.

 

Privileges

Adults and parents are able to view troop information that is not specific to a particular user. They are also able to upload photos.

 

What if I want to change it?

If you'd like to change their privileges or access level, you can do so by visiting the privileges tab on their profile after creating them.

 

How to Get There

You can edit a user's access and privileges from their profile. To get to a user's profile, click Quick Nav > Members and then select the user you'd like to edit. You can also get to their profile from the Manage > Units/Patrols/Dens page or the Manage > Members > User Accounts page.

Once you are on a user's profile, look for the section titled Privileges (indicated by the arrow), as seen below:
​



Editing a user's access level and privileges is easy. Just click on the Edit Privileges option, fill out the following form, and click Save.



Access Levels Control Who a Member Can See

Access levels control WHO in the troop this user has access to, described below.

  • None - No one! Not even themselves! This access level is generally reserved for users who never log in.
  • Self - Just them. This is a common access level for scouts.
  • Household - Every member of their household. This is a good access level for parents.
  • Patrol/Den - Everyone in their patrol or den. This is a good access level for den leaders, patrol leaders, and adult leaders assigned to a patrol.
  • Unit/Troop - Everyone in the troop or pack. This is a good access level for scoutmasters, cubmasters, advancement chairs, senior patrol leaders, etc.

Privileges Control What a Member Can Do

The second green box shows the privileges a user could be given. Check or uncheck privileges as appropriate and then click "Update User" when you are done.

Below are some of the privileges you can choose from. Privileges may be added as new features are created.
