View, Add, and Manage Amplify Users and Permissions

On the Amplify Home screen, click on Manage. In the left sidebar, under Manage Organization, click Users. Here you can view, add, or delete users within your Amplify Account.

Note: Users can be both staff or volunteers who manage your software AND people (think members of your ministry community) who simply log in to donate online or view the church directory.

In general, when you add users, you're adding individuals with permission to manage portions of your Amplify software solutions.

Add Amplify Users

To add new users, click on the blue +Add button. Uncheck any modules you don't want a user to manage. Each person must have a unique email and phone number. 

Important: When a user is provided Universal Admin access, they will have complete rights to every Amplify module and can manage their entire Amplify account.

*
Note: Universal Admin does not give full rights to Amplify Giving Admin for security reasons. You'll need to provide additional permissions within the Giving Admin module itself.

Once finished, click the blue Invite button. The individual will receive an email from no_reply@account.myamplify.io with a unique link to set up their password (below).

Note: Once this step has been reached, Amplify Admin users can no longer update a user's NameEmail Address, or Phone Number. The end user is expected to maintain this information going forward.

 

How to Assign Permissions within each Module

Although a new user can now access Amplify (whether a universal admin or individual with rights to specific modules), you must assign them appropriate permissions within each module. 


After sending an invitation to a new user, go to the App Switcher menu at the top left of the screen and select a module that you would like the user to manage.

  • Access to manage your Mobile App is either on or off. In other words, a user either has permission to manage your Mobile App or not. Simply check or uncheck the Mobile App tile when editing a user within the Amplify Users section. Mobile App Help.

    Note: The integrated Mobile App dynamically 'pulls in' content from other Amplify solutions, such as Forms, saving you from re-creating duplicate content. Therefore, you may need to give your Mobile App administrators permissions to other Amplify Modules.

Managing Amplify Users FAQ

How do I edit a person’s information? It's greyed out.

For security reasons, each permissioned user must update their information. They can do this by logging into their account, clicking their initials in the top right corner, updating the information, and saving the changes.

 

How can I merge two people?

For security reasons, once a user is authenticated, they cannot be merged with another user. If an individual's information changes, they can either log in and update it themselves, or you can re-add them with their new information. 

 

How do I mass invite people?

Currently, there's no method to add multiple Amplify users at once. To invite multiple people, you’ll need to send individual invitations.
