Administrator access levels are way too broad. There definitely needs to be more options for what modules can be accessed. As it stands right now, the options only allow for two options for full financial access - All or None. Definitely need more user customization. I need to let me run an event but not have financial access

Many of our Members are anonymous donors. We have many Membership Managers who are one-year volunteers who should not be able to access donations information. Therefore we will not able to use Wild Apricot to track donations until WA limits the ability for Membership Managers to see the Donations tab.

Please make the Membership Manager role more granular (add a radio button for able to see donations tabe / not able to see donations tab)

It's critical to be able to define roles based on needs. Is there any update on this development?

Absolutely agree that the roles need to be able to be defined by the customer to meet how their organization is set up and how they want the various people to have access to various administrator functions.

I absolutely do not want Event managers or other roles to see the Finances Section. We really need to be able to restrict this area.

Our group needs a way to define Limited Administrators more granularly than offered today. For each page available to Limited Administrators not utilizing one of WA's pre-defined roles, we need three radio buttons to choose from the following: no access, read-only access, or read / write access. The default for Limited Administrators would be read-only access to all pages, allowing the webmaster to grant read / write as appropriate.

Best I can tell, today's role-based permissions grant read / write to some pages and NO access to others. If I am inaccurate, please let me know.

I need to be able to further customize the Event Manager role so that some of our members can add/delete/modify events that they created by not those that others created.

This has been an issue for us since day 1. It would be nice if I can assign a specific level to various tasks (administrative) and then assign each admin access to tasks based upon the rights/privileges assigned to them. This will prevent exploration in the system and potential mods that could have disastrous effects. Some that I may not be able to undo. Having a tighter front end makes sense to protect the system.

I agree with other comments here. Specifically, I would like most of those who have limited admin read / write to be able to read MOST of the admin areas of the site. Most would not need to access the Account page and some would not need to access Membership details.

We are an organization that needs the ability to limit an administrator to a selected subset of information. Ideally through selection of a data base field. For example, an Administrator type that gives full capabilities based on the contents of a specific member database field. Such that Jane Doe as full administration capabilities, where the member database field "any_field" contains "defined_text". Again, this limited administrator would be able to manage emails, but could only send to members with "any_field" contains "defined_text".
Only a Full Administrator would be able to set the "any_field" contains "defined_text" limitation.

Admin permissions is very weak, therefore not giving us the control we need to assign personel to certain aspects of the site. I would like to see access broken down to a lot more detail than page. We should be able to restrict access and assign a coordinator also to individual ROWS as well as GADGETS. Right now we have to do a lot of work to get around this shortcoming. Club Express provides this level of control, so why not WA?

Yet another vote for this. I'd like for our membership chair to be able to access the information involving membership, but not set up invoices, etc. So, I can either give her full read-only access to everything, or I can trust that she's not going to make changes to stuff she shouldn't.

In essence, allow each role to specify whether they have read only or full access to that role.

yes this feature would be very helpful to our organisation, Allowing access to Membership details is too much access for administrators we want to manage only a particular member level. It would be great to be able to assign admin rights to specific levels and groups without compromising the entire data. Privacy is an issue at the moment.

Did you perhaps see that email from Phil Dolan
Chief Marketing Officer
Personify Corporation
today at about 11:48 EDT telling us all how wonderful things are going to be?
(Sort of sounded like a politician telling us what he would do if we elected him - 'stretch goals for those of you who live in ON').

Anyway suggest replying to him with all the concerns.

Now sadly the reply to address is a generic address so who knows if he will see any responses.
Just a pity that a C suite executive hides behind a generic email address

YES! I love WA but this feature is really needed to make the experience better!!

One thing I can recommend is if you need someone to look at content throughout the system but not make changes use the Read Only role. For many this is good enough to make decisions as exports can be made. Once things are running there usually is no need to make changes at all, so if you cannot abide by allowing module administrators to have access to make changes, then just switch them to full admin- read only. It works great!

This is an increasing issue around events and ability to edit contact data. Surely there can be something done to start tightening this up?
The bigger an organisation gets the more of an issue this becomes as tasks have to be delegated to many people. a busy operation will have lots of event organisers - and they shouldn't be able to change member data.

Please address this flaw in admin user permissions.

No updates here, sorry.

Any development on this item since 2018 ?
