1. Allow Member profile Access Control by Member Level

   Bottom Line: The matrix for controlling "Access to Others" for Profiles is insufficient. Currently the only choices are: Anyone, Members and No Access. We need another layer between Anyone and Members. This way we can use the full functionality of Wild Apricot and control access to information by delineating between the Public/Prospects and all real Members.

   Discussion: What this is about is how Wild Apricot allows us and our Members to control access to the information they provide in their profiles and how they and we control everyone's privacy.

   We have created two member levels:
   *

   Guest
   
   *

   Member

   In order to make use of the full functionality of Wild Apricot, each level is given the status of Active Member.

   We want Guests to be able to freely register on our web site and we want to be able to add them to our e-mailing list. We also want Guests to receive notice of our weekly speaker series. The Guests are in effect prospective members.

   Our organization is run entirely by volunteers and assists experienced professions in job search and job transition. The majority of our Members are unemployed. One becomes a Member by participating in our intensive job search training program which costs several hundred dollars.

   One of the services we want to provide to our Members is the ability to post detailed profiles of their professional experience and job skills. The kind of profiles we want to provide would be similar to those found on LinkedIN. This allows current Members to learn about networking opportunities among one another and it also lets them learn about inactive Members who might be willing to help in their job search. Wild Apricot handles this quite well.

   In addition, we want to be able to afford our Members the option of a public listing. After all, many of them are looking for jobs. The Wild Apricot field Directory Listing Text is just what we need for this and the Public Directory page is made to order for this too. The Member can create a mini-profile promoting their own job search without revealing just the amount of information they feel comfortable.

   We are restricting the profile details available to Guests and we are not placing the Guests on the Public Directory. Again, we can do this with the member level controls currently available.

   So far so good. The problem arises in that we want to distinguish services provided between Members who pay a lot of money and invest considerable volunteer hours and Guests who register for free on the web site to receive notice of our events, etc. Remember our Guests are really members of the public who are prospects and we really don't want to afford them the privileges of Members. But to use the Wild Apricot features we have to give Guests the status Member Active in Wild Apricot.

   So, here is the rub. We created our Public Directory which excludes Guests. We limited the profile available for Guests. Members can write short promotional profiles, if they want, for the Directory Listing Text field. Our Members who have substantial detail available to them for their profiles can control what is seen by “Anyone”, “Members”, and “No Access.” We would hope that most if not all Members would allow access to their profiles to fellow Members. Their only choice to do so is to select the Wild Apricot choice of Member, which really means ALL member levels which have been created, without distinction.

   This means that all Guests who go to the Public Directory and click on any Member name will see all of the profile information that Member has available (which might include phone numbers and addresses, etc). But we DO NOT want Guests to be able to do this.

   (repeating the) Bottom Line: The matrix for controlling "Access to Others" for Profiles is insufficient. Currently the only choices are: Anyone, Members and No Access. We need another layer between Anyone and Members. This way we can use the full functionality of Wild Apricot and control access to information by delineating between the Public/Prospects and all real Members.

2. New admin role - membership manager limited to specific groups or levels

   Hi,

   I'm currently setting up a club membership system on WA and would like to know if it is possible to assign people as admins of a group. Basically we have little mini clubs for our regional members and these are looked after by a local member for that area, I would like that member to have access to only the members in that group and put members in and out and the like. They would also need to be able to email that group and it would be nice if they could manage the web pages associated with that group too.

   if there is nothing like this and others would find it useful I'll post in the wishlist.
