Adding Users

Every neighborhood council that uses NCMS can have as many users on their account as they need or want. Each user can have authority over individual committees, the board, or the whole NC.

This page describes how to add new users and grant (or revoke) their authority.

Committee Authority

A user with authority over a committee can change anything about that committee. They can add or remove meetings; modify or delete minutes; add or remove members; or change any of the committee settings. They can also grant the same authority to other users.

To give a user authority over a committee, go to the committee settings page and in the “Authorized Users” section click “Add committee user”. Then type in the user’s email address and click “Add”.

If the user does not have an NCMS account, they will receive an email invitation to create one.

To remove a user’s authority over a committee click the red delete button next to the user’s email address.

Board Authority

A user with authority over the board can change anything about the board. They can add or remove meetings; modify or delete minutes; add or remove members; or change any of the board settings. They can also grant the same authority to other users.

To give a user authority over a board, go to the board settings page and in the “Authorized Users” section click “Add board user”. Then type in the user’s email address and click “Add”.

If the user does not have an NCMS account, they will receive an email invitation to create one.

To remove a user’s authority over the board click the red delete button next to the user’s email address.

Neighborhood Council Authority

A user with authority over the neighborhood council can change anything about the NC. They can add or remove any board or committee meetings; modify or delete any board or committee minutes; add or remove members of the board or any committee; or change any of the settings for the NC, the board, or any committee. They can also grant the same authority to other users.

To give a user authority over the neighborhood council, go to the NC settings page and in the “Authorized Users” section click “Add neighborhood council user”. Then type in the user’s email address and click “Add”.
