Coordinators

Kellytd05 3 years ago updated by Benjamin S. (Answers in Genesis - Web Support Analyst) 8 months ago 3

1. Is there an article somewhere with a detailed description of each coordinator role?  The drop down box of choosing roles does not say what the teacher role can/cannot access.

2.  Is there ANY way we can edit coordinator roles?  We don't need our music, games, drama, crafts, etc leaders to be able to edit, view, and delete personal volunteer and student information.

1. The teacher role only has access to their checklist and the VBS Digital library.  We have a task to update the description of the Teacher role but our development resources are severely limited at present so I can't promise a timeframe on that fix.

2. No, VBS Digital does not currently support editing the existing coordinator roles. I just checked on the permissions setup in the backend and it doesn't currently allow for granular permissions among the various roles, so it is all or nothing for students, volunteers, teams, etc. Those roles need to be able to view the students, volunteers, and teams, so they are set up like that for now.
Further breaking apart the permissions and improving the coordinator roles and permissions is is something we definitely want to add. When we do get some more help I will be sure to prioritize presenting that as an area that needs work.

Thanks for your feedback!

Hi I see these comments were 2 years ago. We are using your VBS this year and I'm hoping that you have made a way to edit coordinator roles. I don't want them to be able to edit the public page, students, or schedules

Hello,

This one I believe is still on our developers list of improvements. Our development team is undergoing some changes and we should hopefully be able to address some of these outstanding improvement requests in the near future! 

Blessings,

Benjamin
