Overview
The Directory houses all active members and staff members on the website. It is necessary for anyone using the website to be in the Directory in order to have website access, however, you may turn off any user’s ability to access the website at any time. The Directory is typically set up with a sync to the club’s accounting system using Clubessential’s application RosterSync, or it may be synced using the Office Products. Both systems allow club admins to update their accounting software software for member changes that will then update on the website Directory (Office systems update automatically so changes must occur within the Office accounting suite, while 3rd party systems must be updated manually by running RosterSync). Use Case(s)
In order for any member, or staff member, to have access to the website, they must first be active in the Directory. The Directory is used to house member information such as: membership status, membership start and expiration date, contact information, affiliated groups or organizations, and account information. The Directory is also used to provide login information, and website privilege level (no access, member access, editor access, admin access).

Adding a Membership
Memberships may need to be added manually on the website for circumstances such as adding Staff members.
The Add Membership button is located in the Admin Bar of the Directory. This will be available on any tab within in the directory, so you may use it in any location of the directory itself. Click the Add Membership button to begin adding a new membership.
Follow the text field prompts to add in relevant information. Fields with a red asterisk next to them are required and information must be added.
When adding a Membership Number for a Staff member, it is recommended to use their last name and not an actual number as to not conflict with actual member numbers. If you are adding a member manually, be sure that the member number is not in use and is recorded in the accounting system so there are not duplicates. Duplicate membership numbers will lock both accounts out of the website until unique membership numbers are assigned.
Add a username and password for the user and provide this to the user for their first login.
Beneath the username and password field, there are two checkboxes for ‘Ask user to change username/password on next login’ and ‘Lock User From Logging In’. The first option is always checked by default, this will prompt the user to update their information upon first login. The second option is only used if the user must be locked out of the website.
The User Type and Admin Level are extremely important when setting up a new account since this will denote if the user is a member or staff and provide the appropriate privilege level.
Admin Levels:
No Admin Access: access to the website, but no Admin or Editor access
Editor: access to Editor functions (typically used for staff that may edit pages on the website and use limited modules)
Admin: access to Admin functions (fully managers of the website)
Once the appropriate information has been added to the profile, click Create Membership at the bottom of the page to add the membership.
If you receive a pop-up denoting the password is not secure, click OK to override as this is a temporary password only used for the first time login.
Editing Profiles
You may edit a member or staff member’s profile byclicking on their name in the directory.Once in their profile, click the Edit This User button.
From here, you can update any field as needed. Click Save Member at the bottom of the screen to update the information.Additional Directory Management Resources
Best Practices
It is best to never add members manually as members should be synced from the accounting system only.
Add text, hyperlinks, or imagery above the Directory Listing and make visible on the Club Members, Staff tab, and My Profile page. This is a great area to add cross-marketing or disclaimers on the Directory.
