User Roles and Permissions Overview
There are three User Roles in Tithely: Account Owner, Admin, and Limited Access. Below we'll break down the differences between the three types of users.
Account Owner
The Account Owner (formerly known as the Primary Admin) is the person who set up the account and can access and manage all areas of the Tithely Dashboard. There is only one Account Owner per account.
The Account Owner can perform the following actions:
- Access the Tithely Suite, including Giving, People, Events, Pay, Insights, Sites, Elvanto, Church App, and Messaging directly through their dashboard.
- Access the Billing and Subscription Tab to update the credit card details used for subscriptions and edit their subscription requirements.
- Access the Users menu item, which is where you can manage the roles that administrators have.
- Edit Account details under Edit Organization, Edit Brand, and Update Legal and Bank Information.
