Granting Portal Access to a Volunteer Leader

  • Primary Address
  • Primary Phone
  • Email
  • Birthdate

if these are not set - then you will get a warning that required fields are missing.  Correct the fields, save the record and click on the Grant Portal Login link again.

Volunteer Leader Profile login access is granted!

Volunteer Leader Profile login access is granted!

The volunteer will be sent an email letting them know they have been granted Volunteer Leader portal access.  They will also get an email with a new temporary password which they'll have to use before they can log in again.  Their username will not change!

NOTE: Before granting Volunteer Leader portal access to a volunteer -- be sure that you have trained them or provided them with documentation on how to use the Volunteer Leader portal.  It is not self-explanatory unless you've customized the portal with documentation or an instruction video on the portal homepage.  So don't grant access to someone who has no idea what to do in the portal!  :-)

When Volunteer Leader Portal access is granted,  an email will be sent to the contact by the system

When Volunteer Leader Portal access is granted, two emails will be sent to the contact by the system
