How To Add & Remove Action Network Administrators & Organisers

What Is The Difference Between An Administrator And An Organiser?

Action Network Administrators can access your membership list, launch emails and change Group settings, depending on the permissions that have been enabled.

Organisers have limited capabilities and can only create Actions to support your campaigns. They are unable to launch emails or access information about your members and supporters.

Should I Add All Committee Members To Action Network As Administrators?

It may be tempting to add all committee members to Action Network, alongside some volunteers. However, we strongly advise against this. Only those with a legitimate need for access should be granted it, with permissions set according to their role and this legitimate need.

How To Add An Administrator To An Action Network Group

In most cases only your local party chair should have access to add and remove Administrators and set their permissions. If you need to request a change it should be made to the chair.
1. From your Group's Action Network page click on Administrators.



2. On the next page scroll enter the email address of the person you wish to add to the field in the Send Invitations section. Then click SEND INVITE(S).
To invite several people at a time just enter their email addresses with a comma separating each of them. For example john@greenparty.org.uk,sam@greenparty.org.uk.



3. The users will be added to your list of Organisers and will receive an email invite to the Group. If you wish to add them as Organisers then you can stop here. If you'd like to make them an Administrator just click on the text next to their name (or email address) that says Make User Admin.



4. You'll need to click on Confirm to change their role from Organiser to Administrator.



5. The Permissions screen will appear. Simply select the permissions required and click on the button labelled SAVE PERMISSIONS.
