Understanding iMIS user classes and views

The three types of users

1.  Full users have complete access to iMIS features in both views, limited only by how they are granted access and permissions.

2.  Casual users participate lightly in iMIS activities, and they might not be employees of the organization at all. Volunteers, part-time staff members, and executives are examples of this type of user. They see iMIS in a limited way, because their "light" license restricts them to a fixed range of actions in iMIS. They can view and change limited information about another user.

3.  Public users can only access member views of iMIS, if your organization is supporting one. From there, they can participate in many ways, such as to join up, shop, register for events, and donate to causes.

The three views of iMIS

1.  Administrative views (Desktop view, Administrative Console) run from a workstation, which can be local or remote.

2.  Staff views (Web view, Staff site) are what Full and Casual users run from a browser.

3.  Member views (Public view, Member site) are standalone sites through which your organization engages Public users.
