User Types

There are three user types in DonationScout, Admin Users, Full Access Invited Users and Restricted Invited Users.  Each users type will have their own login credentials and access to the DonationScout event management software.  Here are the key limitations of Invited Users vs Admin Users. 

  1. Invited users cannot invite other users.
  2. Invited users can be restricted to only certain locations.  *Restricted users will not be able to edit event type details.
  3. Invited users can have email notifications turned off.

Like admin users, full access invited users will have the ability to manager every aspect of the fundraiser program for their assigned locations.  Essentially, Invited users can do anything in DonationScout that admin users can do accept invite other users.

Admin Users and Invited Users are different from Location Contacts, who only receive the email notifications below.  Locations can have up to five location contacts.  However, a best practice is to use a generic location email address.

  1. Notice of a scheduled event (with calendar invite attachment)
  2. Notice of cancelled or updated event (with updated calendar invite)Coming up email seven days before the event.
  3. Happening today email the morning of the event.
