Edit User Permissions

Prev Next

This article will show you how to edit user permissions so that Agenda and Meeting Management Select users have access to the features appropriate for their role.

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.
