How to Add Limited Access Users for Apps

Summary: Configure targeted access for members by assigning "Limited Access User" permissions. This allows users to interact with specific app functionalities without requiring full admin rights.


Before You Begin

  • You must have Admin permissions to add and manage users.

  • Ensure you know which Location and specific Apps the user needs to access.

  • Important: Limited Access Users require both location and app permissions to function correctly.


Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Navigate to My Organization > Users.

  2. Click on Add/Update User.

  3. Enter the user's profile information (Name, Email, Phone Number) if they are a new user.

  4. Select Limited Access from the User Role dropdown.

  5. Configure User Permissions:

    • Select the appropriate Location associated with the App.

    • Grant access to the necessary Apps.

    • Note: You must select both the Location and the App for the user to have a seamless experience.

  6. Save the user settings.

  • Global Settings: They see only basic permissions. If they have access to multiple apps, they will see them listed at the top of the Global Settings menu.

  • What if a user sees a "Request Access" modal?

    • This occurs if the user's Location permission does not match the Location associated with the Church App.

    • The user can click the Request Access button to notify the Account Owner that they need updated permissions.

  • Why can't the user access the App despite having App permissions?

    • Check their Location permissions. If they are assigned to a Location that does not have an associated Church App, or if the Location permission is missing entirely, they will not be able to access the App dashboard.
