Security Roles

Tools and Reports

  • MinistryPlatform contains tools designed to streamline accomplishing specific tasks in MinistryPlatform. You can access these Tools on various Pages from the Tools menu. To use the tools, the User must have a Security Role that permits access to each Tool.
  • In addition, MinistryPlatform comes loaded with close to 200 reports.
  • You can make both Tools and Reports accessible in a Security Role with similar steps.
  • After adding a Tool and/or Report to a Security Role, ask the User to log out and then log back in to access them. If that doesn't work, have them clear their cache.
  • Remember that Security Roles stack like layers. It is perfectly appropriate to create a Security Role that provides access to all Tools, but not Reports or Pages. You can also tailor these roles however you want. That being said, consider ways to maximize each role so you don't end up with 200 custom roles that become a hassle to manage.
