The association’s treasurer, the shop assistant, the accountant: each can have their own access to the admin area, with just the permissions they need. No shared passwords.<\/p>\n

Adding a user<\/h2>\n
    \n
  1. Open Settings > User administration<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
  2. Click the option to add a user.<\/li>\n
  3. Enter the person’s E-mail<\/strong> (first name and surname are optional) and choose the User role<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
  4. Click Invite<\/strong>: the person receives an invitation by e-mail and sets their own password.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    User roles<\/h2>\n

    The Administrator<\/strong> role has all rights and cannot be changed or deleted. To give fewer permissions, open the User roles<\/strong> tab, add a role and choose what it can see and do. Some ideas:<\/p>\n

      \n
    • a role for people taking payments, with the payment tools only;<\/li>\n
    • a role for the accountant, with payments, payouts and reports but no access to settings.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      Administrators can also choose which menu items to show, to keep the admin area simple.<\/p>\n

      The account holder<\/h2>\n

      In the user list, one person is marked as account holder: they are responsible for the account towards 1pay.ch.<\/p>\n

      When someone leaves<\/h2>\n

      Remove their access from the user list straight away. The list also shows each person’s last login date: useful for tidying up.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
