Administrators and Their Permissions

Springly is a cloud-based platform, so multiple people can work in it at the same time — safely and without conflicts. Each person must first be granted administrator rights.

For more information on adding an administrator, see this article: Adding an administrator.

How do I access administrator management?

To access the administrator management area, click Settings (1) at the bottom of your side menu, then click Administrators (2).

This page displays the full list of your administrators along with their rights. As the primary administrator of the platform, you can update any administrator's rights at any time by clicking the Rights icon on the right side of each row.

What are the different types of administrator rights?

You can assign different rights to each administrator:

• Full access to the entire platform and all data.
• Or restricted access to one or more modules (Community, Accounting, etc.).

An administrator can only access the modules they have been granted rights to. For example, a communications manager cannot access the Accounting module if accounting rights have not been granted to them.

Only a primary administrator can add or remove administrators from the platform.

For some modules, you can fine-tune the rights granted even further. Simply click Go further to expand additional options — for example, you can limit an administrator to only editing website pages. All available options are shown below.

What does each type of administrator right allow?

Primary administrator

A primary administrator has access to all modules. They can also:

• Add or remove other administrators.
• View and edit organization information (subscription, name, etc.).

Membership/Donation and Event/Product Sales manager

A membership/donation and event/product sales manager can create and manage Campaigns and ticketing (adding registrants, etc.).

Some restrictions apply, and additional rights will be needed in the following cases:

• Adding payments to transactions with deferred payment (accounting rights required).
• Publishing a Campaign or ticketing page to the website (communication rights required).

Community manager

A community manager has access to the entire community of the nonprofit, with no group restrictions. They can add or remove members from the database and edit their profile information as needed. They can also contact all members by sending basic emails, but cannot send email campaigns.

Communications Manager

A communications manager has rights over the Website and Communication modules. They can write and publish pages, manage site settings (theme, footer, domain name, etc.), and send email campaigns to members and mailing lists.

Accounting Manager

An accounting manager can manage all book entries — creating, editing, and reviewing them — as well as access accounting documents and close the accounting period.

A Business Account manager can access the Business Account tab and manage its features: card ordering, administrator management, payouts, etc.

Business Account manager

This role grants access to the Business Account tab and its features: ordering a payment card, managing administrators, making wire transfers, etc.

A Business Account subscription is required beforehand.

What can a group administrator do?

A group administrator only has access to the members of the group they administer. This role is suited for someone who needs to contact and manage their group only, without rights over the rest of the community. For example: at My Nonprofit 123, the manager of the "Basketball Section" group needs to send an email to the 30 members of their section. They are given the group administrator role for the "Basketball Section" group, rather than the community manager role.
