To give board members or staff access to the admin side of Member Splash, create a User for them. Users are separate from member accounts; they are for anyone who needs to log in and manage the site.
Finding Users
Go to Admin > Users.
Use the view toggle to see users as a list or as a grid grouped by role.
Use the Search users… box to find a user.
In list view, click Columns to choose which columns display.
In list view, click switch next to a user to log in as them, the pencil icon to edit them, or the trash icon to archive them.
In grid view, each user card has Edit, Photo, Switch to, and Archive actions, and shows when the user last logged in.
Filtering Users
On Admin > Users, click Filters to narrow the list by:
Role: the user roles configured for your site (for example, Staff, Manager, Board)
Has logged in: Any, Yes, or No
Click Save as view to save a filter for later. Saved views appear in the dropdown that defaults to All users.
Click Clear all to reset filters.
Adding a User
Go to Admin > Users and click Add User in the top right. The Add user window opens.
Optionally add a photo: upload an image or take one with the camera.
Username: at least 4 characters. Usernames must be unique. If you use a title like "Treasurer", add your club's initials, for example "MSTreasurer".
Email (optional): required if the user's role includes Support capabilities, since this address receives support replies.
Display name
Role: select from your site's roles, including any custom roles. Role names with spaces (for example, Board Member) work normally.
Password: must have at least 8 characters, one lowercase letter, one uppercase letter, one number, and one special character. A checklist under the field shows which rules are met.
Click Create user to save, or Cancel to close without saving.
Note: The Add user and Edit user windows have one Email field. There is no separate Communications Email field.
Editing a User
Go to Admin > Users and click the pencil icon (or Edit on the card) next to the user.
In the Edit user window, update the Username, First name, Last name, Display name (required), Email, Role, or New password (leave blank to keep the current password).
Click Save. Standard roles and custom multi-word roles both save correctly.
Removing a User (Archive)
Go to Admin > Users and click the trash icon (or Archive on the card) next to the user, then confirm.
If the user is not tied to a membership account, they are archived: they can no longer log in, but nothing they created (pages, media, notes, products) is deleted.
If the user is tied to a membership account, the button says Revert to member: their role changes back to member and they leave the admin users list.
To bring back an archived user, click Show archived users at the bottom of the list, then click Restore.
Click Show deleted users to see users that were deleted, with the date and who deleted them.
