For members eyes only
The members area of your website can provide your club with a useful repository of club information, somewhere safe and also accessible to all members.
Create sub menus to keep information organised, such as: risk assessments, posters, tea rotas, or even minutes.
This has a number of advantages: the information is saved on our server (and therefore backed up) and not on one member's computer, and the information is accessible by any member of the club at any time from any computer.
Member only privileges
All club members can have a user name. The administrator can set a member's user level to "Member" so they can access the Members only area but are not able to edit pages or access the website control pages.
To do this the administrator needs to go to the Members area and ensure that there is an email address for the new user (see Manage email forwarding), then, from the Members area, select Manage user permissions.
From the drop down menu on Select a user and select Add a new user.
In the next box choose the appropriate level: Member in the case of someone who doesn't require any website maintenance responsibilites.
Select the new member from the drop down menu:
Now give them a password - something they will easily remember!
Finally click on Update.
The member can now log in and see files but they don't have any ability to make changes to files.
