How to assign access rights and permissions to a staff member
To assign permissions you must have Organization Administrator privileges assigned to your login credentials. Note: if you do not have current permission to assign permissions, you must contact the current account administrator (most often at the church but in some cases at the diocese). They will need to update your credentials to give you this permission. If you do not know who to contact, ParishSOFT Support can give you the names of the staff that are set up with assign permission credentials.
- Go to Administration → Manage Staff.
- Click the individual's name to open his or her staff assignment record. The record opens to the Access Rights tab.
- Click Edit Details.
- In the drop-down list in the upper-right, select the organization and associated position for which you want to assign access rights and permissions, as shown in the following illustration:
- At the top of the Access Rights tab, complete the following:
