Creating Non Members
The Content Management Software (CMS) allows you to create and maintain non-members in the database.
Once an individual has been added to the database and the role of non-member has been assigned, you can do the following:
- Search and generate a list of non-members
- Export a list of non-members into an excel spreadsheet
- Send a mass email
Assigning this role excludes the individual from:
- Logging into member only areas of the site
- Being listed in the Membership Directory
How to Add a Non Member
Non Members are only able to be added to the database manually by an administrator. In order to add them, you must have at least their full name and email address.
Please Note: When adding a non-member, you will still be asked to enter a username and password for the individual because these are required fields.
- Go to your Admin Dashboard, and click on the Create Members & Administrators link beneath the User Management sub-heading.
- On the Create User Account page that appears, create a username for that user. Usernames may have spaces, numbers and letters in them, but may not have punctuation, except for periods, hyphens and underscores.
- Add the user's email address.
- Create a password.
- Under the Roles heading, check the Non Member checkbox.
- Fill in the First Name field - this is required.
- Fill in the Last Name field - this is required.
- Fill in as many of the other fields as you'd like.
- When you're done, click Create New Account.
