Managing administrators and organisers in Action Network is a local responsibility, ensuring your group operates securely and effectively. This guide walks you through the steps for adding or removing administrators and organisers in your group.
Administrators and organisers have access to manage your group's campaigns, emails, events, and data. Ensuring the right people have the appropriate level of access—and removing those who no longer require it—is crucial for maintaining data security and campaign effectiveness.
Before assigning a role, it’s important to understand the key differences between administrators and organisers:
Administrators
Administrators have full access to the group, including managing settings, creating and sending emails, handling forms, and editing group details. This role should be limited to key individuals who need broad oversight and control over the group’s operations.
Organisers
Organisers have more limited access. They can create and manage specific content, such as events or forms, but cannot access higher-level group settings or activist records. This role is ideal for individuals who need to perform operational tasks without full administrative control.
Best Practice: Assign roles based on the level of access required to minimise risk and ensure accountability.
Not all committee members may require Action Network access to fulfil their role. Consider carefully who truly needs access.
Who Should Be Added?
Add only those who need to manage group emails, events, or data. For example, your Membership Officer, Campaigns Officer, or Fundraising Lead may benefit from access.
Why Limit Access?
Limiting access to key roles reduces the risk of accidental errors, data breaches, or unauthorised actions. Consider assigning the Organiser role for limited permissions if full administrator access isn’t required.
