The User Account Details page is where you can change user permissions, as well as create new users in the first place.


What is a User?

A User is someone can log in to your Charitylog system. A User is not a different Type of Organisation/Person (like Client, Professional). Anyone with a user account should however have a linked organisation/person record. This can be of any active organisation type, but common ones used are staff, volunteers or support workers. These records can be more than one type, so a user could be both a staff member and a volunteer. Some older user accounts may have an account that is not linked to an organisation/person record. In this case some features will not work, for example, you will not be able to assign actions to anyone who doesn't have Staff or Volunteer record as well as a user account. This can be amended by going to the user details, where there will be the option to link the user to an existing record or create a new one.

There are five tabs that hold information about the User.
