User Management Documentation

Introduction

Group Package 1 websites are managed for you by Scouts Online. Your website is setup with one user, who will receive all contact forms. If you want this user changing, please contact us.

If you'd like to upgrade to a higher package level, please contact us.

Website users may include leaders, trustees, administrators, parents and friends of the group.

You can assign leaders to the sections they belong to, so that they appear in that section's Meet The Team page. You can also add trustees to the trustee board team, to appear in the Members/Trustee Board page, and assign other users to other teams, like the campsite team or maintenance team so that you can show them on your own pages.

Users may be assigned the rights to view members only page and/or administer your website settings and pages.
