Add 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 this context, we're referring to adding users with permissions to manage some or all 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 Universal Admin Permission Details:

  • When a user is granted Universal Admin access, they will have complete rights to every Amplify module and can manage their entire Amplify account.
    • *Safeguard: 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.
  • Universal Admin permissions are required to view and manage Amplify Account billing.

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

Security Notes: After creating a password, all users will be required to set up Multi-Factor Authentication

Once a user has verified their account by setting up a password, only they can update their Email Address or Phone Number for security reasons.

 

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

Can I update a user's email or phone? 

For security reasons, users must update their own email address or phone number. For instructions you can provide to your users, see How to Update Your Amplify Login Credentials.

 

Permissions to manage Amplify Account billing.

To view, update, or manage your Amplify Account Billing, a user must have Universal Admin permissions. For more, see How To Grant Universal Admin Permissions.

 

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 users?

Currently, Amplify users must be added one at a time. In a future update, we plan to add the ability to add users en masse.
