We are excited to announce the launch of updated product names, logos, and headers within our user interfaces as part of the CivicPlus® Solution Rebranding initiative. These changes mark the first step toward creating a cohesive and seamless user experience across all solutions in our portfolio. As part of this transition, users may notice minor design updates. While the functionality you rely on remains unchanged, we are in the process of updating screenshots and other resources on our Help Centers to reflect the new branding. We appreciate your patience and understanding as we work to complete these updates.

Edit User Access

  • Updated:

This article will show you how to edit user access.

 

From the User Details page, you can change a user's:

  • Classification (Administrator, Staff, or Board)
  • Meetings Security Profile
  • Backup Approvers
  • Access to Site Settings
  • Access to the Meetings, Events, and Analytics modules
  • Access to Boards and Committees

 

Important Notes

  • A standard user will typically have full access to Agendas, read-only access to Events, full access to General, and full access to Search. The other areas are normally reserved for administrators.
  • To change a user's permissions to create, edit, view, delete, and access specific functions within the system beyond what is outlined in this article, you will need to update the user's Meetings Security Profile.
