Managing your team (Admin only)

As a group admin, you can add new users to your group, projects, and spots.


Difference between roles

Group Admins

Group administrators have access to all of the features and functionality for their group. They can:

  • Add, edit, and remove users; including other group administrators.
  • Create, edit, and delete projects, spots, forms, and form data.
  • Create events for projects, and moderate other users posts.
  • Edit the group settings.

Group admins also receive an email notification when a new user requests access to their group.

Approved users (volunteers):

If a user is not an admin, when they are added to a group they have access to:

  • Submit data for projects they have been added to, and view their own submitted data.
  • If form editing has been enabled, they can also edit and delete their own submitted data in the web app.
  • Make discussion thread posts for projects they have been added to.
  • Add comments to posts and events for projects they are added to, and RSVP for events.

Pending users:

Pending users do not have access to the group yet. Any new user that requests access to the group and/or projects will show in the Pending user tab until they are approved.
