An important part of public relations work is maintaining the website so that the information there is always up-to-date and accessible to many people. To do this, you can add users in ChurchTools who take on this maintenance in different roles.

The users added here can log in to the admin area of your website with their ChurchTools login. They will automatically receive the permissions for the website that they need according to their role that you select here.

How it works #

In your ChurchTools, go to Public Relations (2) > ChurchTools website (3). Go to Users (4) and click on the blue button + Add user (5).

Here you first select the new user (1) from the people in your ChurchTool and select them from the list (2), then specify which role (3) this user should have for editing your website and complete the addition by saving (4).
