Roles are primarily used to describe the relationship of a group member to a group. Is the person in a leadership position, organizes the group or works in this group? Together with the status of the group members, you get an extended picture of this relationship. Is the person interested in participating in a small group or is the person an active leader in the congregation?
Make rols fit #
You can customize the roles for each of your group types at any time:
- Distinguish between leadership and participation roles
- Hide roles to increase clarity
- Define role as standard role
Types: Leadership and participation roles #
You use the leadership roles for group members who have leadership responsibility. By default, the leader and co-leader roles are preset here for each group type.
Participation roles are used for group members who do not have comprehensive leadership responsibility for the group. Participant, employee, coach and organizer are also predefined for each group type by default.
Standard rols #
This definition is used to identify the role of a group type that is to be assigned automatically when a Registration automatically assigned or should be displayed at the top of the selection when a group member is added manually.
What else can I use rols for? #
Promoting exchange within a group #
- You can set up automatic emails for various roles to help you keep the people in your group informed. They are sent to a group member with the selected role when a group member receives the specified group member status.
- You can also use the roles to determine who can participate in the chat – reading and/or writing or who can create posts in the group.
Who was there? #
For group meetings, you can have check-in codes sent depending on the role, which you can then scan with the ChurchTools app when checking in to a meeting to check in the group members.
Keeping an eye on group development #
Small groups grow, sign up groups are filled – groups are dynamic and change. If you have limited the number of places for a group, it is important to specify which roles should be added to this maximum number.
Accompanying people #
A growth path can help you to recognize where a person is and what would help them to progress in their personal development. You can add the individual development steps of this path to roles for specific group types to make this development more visible.
Structuring and simplifying the assignment of permissions #
Permissions can be assigned to the roles of a group type or a selected group. If a person becomes part of a group, they automatically receive the permissions set that are required for collaboration, leadership or organization of a group. If someone leaves a group and is deleted as a group member, the permissions assigned by the group membership are also automatically deleted.
