Members are users who are part of a Community, from the administrative team to invited contributors who participate in the publishing process.

The Members Dashboard (visible to Administrators) displays a table of all Members of a Community. The Members table can be sorted by any column ascending and descending. The table can also be searched by email.

The table includes the following headers:  

  • First Name: the first name of the Member
  • Last Name: the last name of the Member
  • Email: the email of the Member
  • Role: the access and permissions of the member within your Community. (admin, editor, or contributor). admin can do anything within the Community; editor can edit most things; contributor are only able to see the forms and other public-facing content that are linked to them. Members added via this table are by default assigned editor; Members invited via the email action who do not yet exist are assigned contributor.
  • Joined: the date on which the Member was invited to the Community (formatted as MM/DD/YYYY)
