Editing roles moved to setting pages

Posted 15 hours ago

We've just rolled out a small change to how roles are assigned in Church Social.

Previously, roles such as administrators, statisticians, or bulletin editors were assigned from the edit person page under the "Access & Privacy" heading. These options have now been relocated to their respective settings pages.

This change has been on our roadmap for a while, as we believe the setting pages are the more appropriate place for role assignments—especially since only administrators can make these changes. It also improves visibility by allowing you to see all individuals assigned to a specific role in one place, alongside other related settings.

For example:

  • Bulletin editors can now be managed from the bulletin settings page.
  • Treasurers can be assigned in the giving settings page.
  • Sermon editors are now managed in the sermon settings page, and so on.

More general roles, including administrators, statisticians, and report managers, can now be assigned from the security settings page.

While roles can no longer be edited from the edit person page, you can still view all the roles assigned to a person there. This provides a quick and convenient reference to see their complete role assignments at a glance.

We hope this update makes role management a little more intuitive!
