TOPIC:

I wonder if the development team might rethink some aspects of "Access Settings".

For each permission, up to three officers can be selected. For many permissions, that is fine, but for several, it is not enough.

In my club, PRES and SEC have all permissions. Our thinking is that PRES and SEC need to be able to be able to act or serve as backup at all times. This leaves just one remaining permission to be assigned. There are three access settings to which it makes sense to us to assign more officers:

• Agenda Settings & Templates - SAA and VPE should both be able to manage this
• Dues Tool - Though this feature is not used in my club, TREAS and VPM should logically be able to manage this
• Create/Edit New Agenda - SAA, VPE and VPM should all be able to manage this

With regard to Create/Edit New Agenda, the VPM's need is to view Meeting Reports... It is important for the VPM to consider who and how many members attend and participate in each meeting, as this informs our membership, guest, and growth policies. For example, if attendance is low, we would invite more guests, and members who don't participate in meetings might not be invited to renew their memberships. VP-M doesn't need all the Create/Edit New Agenda capabilities, and with that in mind, I wonder if "Meeting Reports" might best be broken out into an access setting by itself.

Thoughtfully,

The site admin already has access to everything there is no need for anyone else.

Rather than change the tool for your single club, I suggest your club rethink how to use the tool.

Hi Steve,

Forgive my ignorance. I would have thought you would want to reduce need for lots of people to login as admin (by widely sharing the admin password).

Don't you want people who are not the webmaster to be doing tasks under their own login? I thought that promoting use of least privilege is a recommended security practice.

Our club would benefit from allowing more than three permission assignments.

Sorry this will not change.
We have given the club the ability to have up to 3 officers to access any function.
If you want more your club will have to share the admin password.
