Team and roles
Larger churches don’t give all staff access to everything. That’s why in Yachad every person has their own login, and their role decides what they may do. A login is separate from the personal Yachad account and can belong to several churches.
The roles
Section titled “The roles”| Role | What it may do |
|---|---|
| Church admin («Kirchen-Admin») | everything in this church: profile, team, members, log, all ministries, new ministries |
| Leader («Leitung») of a ministry | edit the ministry, create, edit and delete events, approve followers, manage the ministry’s team, read the ministry’s log |
| Edit («Bearbeiten») | create and edit the ministry’s events, approve followers |
| Read only («Nur lesen») | see the ministry’s dates and numbers |
A role only applies to its ministry, not to sub-ministries. Anyone without a role on a ministry doesn’t see it in the portal. Two-factor is mandatory for church admins and leaders, see Login and two-factor.
Inviting to the team (church admins)
Section titled “Inviting to the team (church admins)”- Open Team and click Invite to team («Ins Team einladen»).
- Enter the email address and choose whether the person becomes church admin or which roles on ministries they get.
- The person receives a link valid for 7 days. Nothing happens without their consent.
If the person has no login yet, they set up name and password with the link. If they already have one (for example at another church), they sign in and agree; their password stays.
An invitation only applies as long as the inviting person still has the rights for it. Under Open invitations («Offene Einladungen») you can revoke an invitation.
A ministry’s team (leaders)
Section titled “A ministry’s team (leaders)”A ministry’s leader manages its team in the ministry under Team: Add person from the church team or invite by email, change roles and remove people. Church admins are informed.
Appointing or removing church admins
Section titled “Appointing or removing church admins”Under Team, choose Make church admin («Zum Kirchen-Admin ernennen») or Remove admin rights («Admin-Recht entziehen») for a person. Because church admins may do everything, you confirm with your password and the code from the authenticator app. The change is logged and all admins receive an email.
Removing from the team
Section titled “Removing from the team”With Remove from team («Aus dem Team entfernen»), all roles in this church end immediately. If the login belongs to no other church, it is deleted. The name stays in the log.
Several churches
Section titled “Several churches”If your login belongs to several churches, switch church at the top of the sidebar; on a phone via the logo at the top right.
The log records who in the team changed what, with the name at the time of the change. Church admins see the log of the whole church, leaders that of their ministry. If the platform team acts in your portal, for example on a report, it appears as “Platform team”. Entries are deleted after 12 months.
