| Security |
- Overview: Member Registration allows visitors to fill out a form with their personal details and submit the information through the website. Their details are then stored in the administrative side of the website to be used for a variety of purposes. There is no limit to the number of registered members.
- Unique Login Option: Allowing visitors to register through the website enables data management, using certain website features, granting access to restricted areas of the website and sending out mass email notifications. We refer to this as the Unique Login Method since each member registers for their own personal username and password to the website.
- Single Login Option: Alternatively, the Single Login Method can be used in which the Administrator(s) provides a single username and password that visitors uniformly share. Therefore visitors do not register themselves through the website with this method. Also with the Single Login Method, member data cannot be stored on the website, several of our features cannot be used and email notifications cannot be sent through the website.
- No Login Option: The website can also be set up to not have any registrations or logins. This means the website will be informational only and not interactive.
- Approval Settings: Newly registered members can either be automatically approved or first require an administrator's approval before being granted access. An email notification is sent to the administrator(s) for every new registration.
- Single Click Approve: The administrator(s) can quickly approve new registration by clicking a link in the approval email they receive without first having to visit and log into the website. Registrations can also be manually approved and edited through the website.
- Submitter Notification: The person who registered automatically receives an email confirming their recent registration request. Once their access has been approved by the administrator(s) the website will send another email to the new member to notify them of their approved status along with their new username and password. Members can change their username, password and any other details in their profile once they have logged into the website.
|
- Overview: Each registered member has their own personal profile. 30 standard fields are included such as: phone numbers, employers, hobbies, children, pets, emergency contact and more. Other than basic information fields, the administrator(s) chooses if individual standard fields are hidden (for administrator use only) or not used at all in the profiles.
- Field Controls: Profile fields are further defined if they are required, if they can be edited and/or viewed by the member and if the option is selectable from a drop down list.
- Notifications: An email is sent to the administrator(s) when a member edits their profile. The email includes complete details that compares the original data vs the new data the member modified.

- Options: Website access can either be set up with a single username and password which all users uniformly share or a unique login which gives each member their own unique username and password. We recommend the unique login method because it is more efficient for the administrator(s) and you can enjoy more functionality from our features.
|
- Overview: If you have certain pages you would like to restrict to only approved members, we will set up a protected area that members can log into with a username and password. Pages not be password protected will be open for public viewing.
- Options: You decide which pages or sections of a page are password protected. If protecting a section of a page, the visitor will not see any of the text or content in the protected section unless they are logged in and have the appropriate level of access.
- User Friendly: When a visitor attempts to access a password protected page, and they are not yet logged into the website, they will be prompted to login. Once they have successfully logged into the website they will be automatically redirected to the page they originally requested. If the member's access level does not allow them access to the specified page they will receive a message regarding the access restriction.
- Auto Login: The "Remember Me" feature allows members to choose to be automatically logged in each time they visit the website.
