Rep Permissions

Overview

Reps may be limited in what they can access in the Member information Center by using permission assignments. These individual permissions are then grouped together and saved as a permission set and then assigned to a rep.

Tip: Take advantage of the default permission sets that are already created. You may find that these already have your desired permissions selected or that minor tweaking will make them work great for your needs. These default sets in combination with automatic inheritance of these permissions will make handling permissions very simple. However, custom options are available if needed.

Definition of drop-down permission options:

Read/Write – full access granted to this particular area

Read Only – ability only to view this particular area

Disabled – this particular is not visible at all

Enabled – this area is available (same as Read/Write)

Register Only – available only on the Events selection (same as Read Only but allows event registration)

Permission Checkboxes

The checkbox must be selected in order to allow any permissions in this section. Removing the checkmark from Member Info would remove all access to the areas in that section. For example, "Member Info" must be selected to allow any permissions in this section.

Permission Options

Allow Login to MIC

When selected, this enables the rep to successfully access the Member Information Center if proper login credentials are provided. If this is de-selected, the attempt to login will display a message “The Account has been disabled.”

Allow Event Registrations

When selected, this enables the rep to register for events using their login credentials on any event with registration available on the public website. Reps with this selection would not be required to login to the Member Information Center in order to register for events.

If there is a need to keep a representative from accessing the Member Information Center but still register for events, this selection is enabled and “Allow Login to MIC” is de-selected. Rarely is “Allow Event Registrations” de-selected.
