SETUP ROLE IN SECURITY
To setup restricted membership access you must first create a role in Security and under Module Privileges give the new role Membership "App Viewer" and "Item Contributor Access" (screenshot below). For more information on creating Roles and Permissions for user click here.
ALLOCATE ROLE TO THE SELECTED MEMBERSHIP LEVEL
The next step is to select which membership levels the new role can see and administer. Go to Membership > Membership Levels > List Levels and click "Edit" next to the level you wish to give your new role access to.
If you have the feature available you will see a "Restricted Access Role" heading as below, and all of the Roles that have been allocated Membership Item Contributor will appear in the dropdown list. Please select the correct role you wish to give access to the level and click "Save" or "Save and Close".
Once you are happy the role is setup correctly you can allocate it to the relevant user. For more information on adding users to a role see Roles & Permissions.
MEMBERSHIP LEVEL VIEWER ACCESS
You can also give Viewer Only access to a membership level if you would like to by giving the role "Item Viewer" privilege on the Membership Module. See below.
USING EMAIL CAMPAIGN TO SEND EMAILS TO RESTRICTED MEMBERSHIP LEVELS
You can use the restricted functionality in conjunction with the "Email Campaign" access to allow membership administrators to send emails via the Email Campaign module to their membership level only.
Before turning on this feature make sure that you have all of your email campaigns setup to be secured. Go to Modules > Email Campaign and edit each level and make sure that "Secured" is set to Yes.
Then you can go into your restricted role created above and add "Email Module" permission "Item Contributor".
GIVE ACCESS TO THE SELECTED CAMPAIGN
You can give access to the new administrator any particular campaign, however if create a "Membership Linked" campaign, it will allow the user to only send to their level.
Associated Module : "Membership"
Secured : "Yes"
Roles: Select the role from the list and click "Save and Close".
TIP: Test logging in as your new user to make sure that you have setup their access properly and they can only see the relevant levels before giving them details to login.
