Roles in Go Method
There are several different roles with varying permissions in Go Method. This is an overview of those roles.
System Admins/Administrators
System admins have more access than trip leaders, group leaders, participants, guardians, and donors. They can see every tab in Go Method, including the Admin tab. There are varying levels of system admin role permissions. You can mix and match these varying permissions to create roles that best suit your organization's needs.
Event Admins/Administrators
Event admins have only admin access to the events for which they are designated admins. Use this role to give a person admin access just for a specific trip. There are varying levels of event admin role permissions. You can mix and match these varying permissions depending on the person to create event admins that best suit your event's needs.
Trip Leaders
Trip Leaders can manage trips, however they only have access to certain permissions within the trip they are leading. They typically go on the trip themselves. Trip Leaders are established if you add the person to the trip as a trip leader or they register themselves under the trip leader member type when they registered for the trip.
- Approve or decline applicants
- View and manage funding for the trip and its participants
- View and manage requirements for the trip's participants, but they can't sign digital documents for trip participants
- Update task requirements
- Schedule trip meetings
- Message participants
- Download the trip roster
- Download trip packets
- Manage discussions for all trip participants
You are not required to have trip leader on your mission trips.
Group Leaders
In an event, you can segment your participants into separate groups to make things easier, for example to assign one chaperone to a group of mission trip travelers. However, you can also assign a group leader who is not going on the trip to help manage a group prior to trip departure.
Group leaders can message their group members and manage their group members' requirements, with certain restrictions.
- Can manage the funding of the participants they registered
- Can manage the requirements, including signed documents, of the participants they registered
- Can't manage funding for the participants they didn't register
- Can manage requirements, except signed documents, for all of their group members
You are not required to have group leaders on your mission trips.
Guardians
The guardian role in Go Method are accounts that oversee participants under the age of 18. Guardians should be the parent or legal guardian of the underage participants because they are required to sign documents for trips and events. Guardian accounts have full access to the same dashboard that their participant sees, and they can complete any requirements and sign legal documentation on behalf of their minor.
Participants
Participants, or team members, have limited access and can only see information for events they are attending. Rather than seeing a trip dashboard with everyone's funding details and checklists, they can only see information regarding their personal insights for the trip, for example only their own funding details.

Donors/Donators/Contributors
Contributors, or donators, are people who contribute to a trip or participant funding in Go Method when they are not attending the trip. These could be friends and family members, other partners or families within your organization, or Good Samaritans looking to donate. Donators make monetary contributions to a trip or participant.
