User roles

Every member of your band has a Backstage account with one or more roles. Roles are additive — a member can hold several at once — and they control which sections of the Backstage menu they see.

RoleGives access to
User
(everyone has this)
The General section: dashboard, their own events, sheet music, tasks and messages, and their profile.
Music manager The Music management section: sheet music, concert tags, bands and instruments.
Board manager The Board management section: members, tasks, events, news, reports, promo, inventory, ticketing, applications, attendance, sponsors and internal messages.
Mozivio manager The Mozivio management section: your public website's content, files, statistics, and general Settings — everything covered in the Frontstage part of this manual.
Special role 1, 2, 3 Whichever individual pages you've ticked for that role in Settings > Backstage > Special user roles — see below.

To grant or remove roles for a member, go to Members in the Backstage (requires the Board manager role, or a special role that's been granted Members) and open their profile.

Special roles: page-by-page access instead of a whole section

The three fixed manager roles above each unlock a whole section of the Backstage. Sometimes that's more than you want to hand someone — say, a volunteer who should only manage sheet music, or someone who should only publish news items. Special role 1, Special role 2 and Special role 3 solve that: each one starts with no access at all, and you tick exactly which individual pages (from Music management, Board management and Mozivio management) it may open and edit, in Settings > Backstage > Special user roles. Once configured, assign the role itself to a member the same way as any other role, from their profile under Members.

A few things stay fixed no matter what you tick:

  • Account and Mozivio site settings can never be granted to a special role — those two pages always stay with a full Mozivio manager.
  • A special role can never see or change any member's roles, even if you've granted it the Members page.
  • With Members granted, a special role can only create and manage basic members — members who don't hold any role themselves. Anyone who already holds a role (fixed or special) is off-limits to a special-role manager.
