When someone makes a request to edit a church, the Administrator of that church will receive an email to notify them. The Administrator can then log in and approve the request. Only the Administrator can approve or decline the request.
If you are the vicar who leads a church (incumbent) but do not have Administrator access, follow these instructions. The Administrator role is only given to the vicar who leads the church (incumbent).
Approve or decline a request to edit the church
- From the ACNY homepage, click on editor login.
- Click on churches and benefices in the top menu, and then click on the cog beside the church you want to edit.
- In the editor menu, click manage editors
- Click on the tab Pending requests to see the list of editors waiting to be approved
- Click on the drop-down menu beside each name to assign them a role
- Click the tick next to the requests you wish to approve or the X next to any requests you wish to decline
- Click UPDATE at the bottom of the page.
The person you have approved will then be able to edit the church when they next log in to the site.
The roles the Administrator can grant are:
- Editor: can edit the church and access the inbox.
- Publisher: can edit the church but do not have access to the inbox.
- Champion: can only access the Church Development Tool.
There can be no more than five people assigned to a role on each church, including you.
