User Permissions

From ScoutManage

When a user is first created, the basic permissions they have are those of a parent, which means read/write access to all members assigned directly to their user, but nothing else.

To add more permissions, click Add New Permission, and select the appropriate permission from the dropdown. To remove a permission, click [del] directly next to the member/permission directly next to the desired user.

The following are the permissions available for each user:

• Pack/Troop Admin. Complete access to all aspects of the ScoutManage account.
• Den/Patrol XXX Admin. Ability to add members to the specified den/patrol, edit all members of that den/patrol, as well as handle adding achievements, marking them complete, and other aspects of members of the specific den/patrol.
• Calendar/Event. Ability to add, edit, and delete any calendar entry in the unit’s calendar, or any den/patrol calendar.
• Financials. Ability to add new fees/dues, mark fees/dues paid, and process reimbursements.
• Reporting. Access to all reports in ScoutManage.
• Advancement. Ability to add/modify/delete any achievement for any scout or leader in the unit. Ability to mark awards as purchased and/or presented. Ability to get reports on awards to purchase/present, BSA advancement reports, etc.
• Blog Administration. Ability to add, edit, and delete any blog for the unit. Ability to control who can add entries to the blogs, and ability to control who can read all blogs.
• Membership Admin. Ability to manage, create, delete, etc. scout and leader records.
• Leader Blog Access. Ability to read blogs marked as "Leaders Only".
• Activities Admin. Ability to manage, create, delete, etc. activities for the unit.
• File Management Admin. Ability to upload, delete, and manage permissions for uploaded files.

To assign a member to the user, click Assign Member, and select the member from the dropdown. To remove a member, click [del] directly next to the member/permission directly next to the desired user.

From the commands in the right hand column you may:

• Reset a user’s password.
• Delete a user.
• Suspend a user, preventing them from logging in without removing their user account complete.
• Make a user read/only.

Making a user read/only means they may only change basic information about their account and the members assigned to them, such as e-mail address, phone number, address, etc. They may not add/delete awards, or mark achievements are complete.
