Currently, membership management settings are used for determining who receives the various emails regarding new member opt-ins. You can also make the system automatically send the New Member Welcome Email immediately after a new member clicks the approval link in the new member opt-in email.

Membership Management Settings

Any one of the club officers can be selected from the pull-down menus.

The default is the website admin, if no one else is chosen; it's necessary for someone to receive these emails.

The following method can also be used to help setup new members who have visual, co-ordination or other challenges.

Members with a shared (or no) email address

The Toastmasters International website requires members to have a unique email address. Therefore, it is strongly recommended that the member without an email address get their own email address via a free provider (gmail, yahoo, outlook etc). Sometimes, ISPs allow one account to have several email addresses or sub-accounts, which is another option.

If the member chooses not to get their own email address, then you can assign a password.

- Enter your (the admin) email in the member's record.
- Save
- Logout as admin
- Authenticate member as normal, click on the authorization link in the member authorization email and and create a password.
- Logout as the member
- Login as Admin and remove your email address from the member's record.
- Give the password to the member.

Be aware that if the member forgets the password, you will need to go through the process again.

Members who have visual, co-ordination or other issues

Use the method above, with the following variation:

When you remove your email address, instead of leaving the field blank, insert the new member's email address in its place, and save.
