Learn how to assign the Community Manager user role. You need the Administrator user role to access these settings. 

About the role

The Community Manager user role has the authority to create and manage new communities. The role can be assigned to multiple people in your organization.

Community: means a group of people (which we refer to as community members) whose community name uniquely describes them distinctly from employees, contractors, visitors or other communities in the account. Examples of a new community are:

  • Residents - to describe people occupying units in an aged-care facility or people occupying units in a multi-family facility.
  • Students - to describe children attending a school or any form of education service provider facility.
  • Volunteers - to describe people providing a volunteer service to the client.

In the Community Manager there are two user roles:

  • Global: The user can create and manage any community in the account.
  • Limited: The user can only select from a list of communities and locations.
    • Access the community manager tool

    • Cannot create new communities

    • See a full list of communities

    • Can only edit the communities selected for them in their user role

    • Access to view the communities report, but can only filter for the communities and locations assigned to them

    • Access Locations

    • Access to create, view, delete, and edit community members for the communities assigned to them
