Site Administrators & Authorised Contacts
An explanation on the different Administrators and Access Roles within your Member Jungle website.
Whether you are setting up your new Member Jungle website, or you have had a change in administrators, you will need to create and update your administrator access and roles.
Here we explain the different types of administrators so that you can decide which set up is applicable for your organisation.

What Is A Site Administrator/Authorised Contact
A site administrator added to the Authorised Contacts area of your website is the highest administrator access on your website. This role has full access to every module on your site. It is imperative that your site administrator is always kept up to date.
We recommend having a minimum of 2 site administrators on your website to ensure that someone is always able to access the system should either end up locked out, away from internet access, or unwell.
The authorised contact can request support and changes from our technical team. Your package may have limited authorised contacts, so it is important to make sure that you have these contacts updated so that your administrators can get the support they need when required.
To update your authorised contact or site administrator, see the instructions on our article Site & Organisation Settings
Custom Administrator Roles and Permissions
Not all administrators need to have full access to your website. It is more secure and simpler for the administrator, if they can only see the modules that are relevant to their role.
Share the workload on your administrative tasks by giving different administrators access to different sections and modules on your site for them to administer.
For example, you may have an events coordinator that you want to grant access only to events. Or you may have a Treasurer who should access only the site payments report. This is all possible by creating a role and applying the correct permissions for the administrator.
