Members

Invite people to your organization, assign their roles, and manage your roster.

Members are the people in your organization. From the Members area, administrators can see the whole roster, invite new people, set each person's role, and assign them to teams and permission sets.

Managing members is an administrator task. If you don't see Members in your sidebar, you may not have the access for it.

Invite people

Bring someone into your organization by sending them an invitation. They'll get a link to join and set up their account.

Open Members from the sidebar.
Choose to invite a new member and enter their email.
Set their role and any team or permission assignments.
Send the invite — they'll receive a link to join.

See Invite members for the full walkthrough.

Roles and access

Every member has an organization role — typically Owner, Administrator, or Member — that sets their baseline access. You layer finer-grained control on top with permission sets. See Member roles for what each role can do.

A member's details

Open any member to see their full profile. The detail view shows everything connected to that person and gives administrators direct controls for their setup.

Profile and role

The top of the detail view shows the member's avatar, name, email, and their current organization role. Administrators can change the role directly from this view.

Staff type and manager

Admins can set two additional fields that drive the org structure and 1:1 pairing:

  • Staff type — whether the person is an individual contributor, director, or another tier. This affects how they appear in the org chart.
  • Manager — who this person reports to. Setting a manager creates a pairing in Org structure and makes this person appear in their manager's team check-ins and 1:1s list.

Campus

Assign the member to a campus. This controls which campus-scoped views and leaders can see their activity.

Effective permissions and module access

The detail view includes two read-only panels:

  • Effective permissions — the combined set of actions this member can actually perform, derived from their role and any permission sets assigned to them.
  • Module access — which sections of Cadence this member can reach.

These panels are read-only and reflect the net result of all role and permission set assignments. To change what a member can do, adjust their role or edit their permission sets.

Work connections

Scroll down to see the teams, projects, and sermons this member is part of — useful for auditing access or getting a quick picture of their workload.

Roles and permissions control access to organization features. They never expose a person's private vault — stories and concepts stay private to their owner.
