Publisher Roles
A publisher's
role or
access level within your congregation can be changed in the
properties dialog.
To learn about editing a publisher and the property dialog for a publisher you can view the
Edit a Publisher tutorial.
Adjusting a publisher's role is done by
selecting a new role from the
role dropdown menu as shown below.
You cannot select a role that has a
higher access than your account.
The roles are
ordered by their
level of access.
A role with a higher level of access has all of the
access rights of the roles
above it.
Publisher
A publisher is the most
basic role.
A publisher can view their
assigned territories,
return their territories, change their
account information and
view, but not edit,
the territory map.
They can also view the
Help Center and
contact a servant.
Advanced
A publisher with
advanced access has all the rights of a
publisher but can also
assign territories.
Because they can assign territories they can view the
dashboard, and view the
assignments page.
Elder
An elder has the same access rights as a publisher with
advanced access but with the addition of the
export functionality in the
assignments page.
This added access gives an
elder the possiblity to utilize a
spreadsheet application along with their congregation's statistics.
Overseer
An overseer receives the same access rights as an
elder but designates their role within a congregation for
assistants and
servants.
An overseer could be either a service overseer or a circuit overseer who needs access to the congregation's territory records.
Assistant
An assistant is essentially a congregation's
administrator.
They have access to everything which includes, but is not limited to the
creating,
editing, and
managing of territories.
An assistant will be listed as a
help contact for all members in the congregation.
They also will receive
email notifications on activity within a congregation.
Administrator
The administrator has the
highest level of access within a congregation.
All administrators within a congregation may
receive direct emails from the system administrator regarding important information pertinent to Territory Helper.
