Organization
When you start a trial or sign up for the free version of MyCommittee, an ‘Organization’ area is automatically created for you to manage MyCommittee at the organization level. Here you can view and manage all committees, members and contacts, upload your logo, manage your subscription, etc.
You can access the organization area from your profile menu in the top right corner or by clicking the organization home button on the dashboard, next to your organization name.
Organization home page
The organization home page shows a panel overview of your MyCommittee plan with quick links to manage committees, people and your subscription.
By default, only the user that first signed up has full access to this area (becomes the main contact). All other members will see a read-only view that shows selected organization information.
On the home page, use the menu on the left to navigate to any subsection.
Main contact
The main contact has admin privileges over the organization (subscription) and all committees and is typically responsible for maintaining the subscription and performing administrative tasks for the organization.
Initially, the main contact is the person that first signed up with MyCommittee for the organization but can be changed by clicking the pencil icon button at the top. Any registered user in your organization can become the main contact.
Admin users
The main contact can delegate administrative tasks to other ‘Admin users’.
To add a new admin user, go to the organization area and click on ‘Admin users’ in the left navigation menu. Click on ‘New admin user’. A list of registered users for your organization will show up. Select one or more registered users and click on ‘Add selected’. The selected user(s) will be added as new Admin user(s) and will have the same access privileges as the Main contact except adding other admin users.
Admin users cannot, by default, add other admin users, to provide this access, click on the pencil icon behind the admin user’s name and select ‘Can manage other admin users’.
There is no need to add the main contact as admin user. The main contact person automatically has all admin privileges.
It is recommended to add at least one extra admin user to ensure uninterrupted organization management when people changes roles or leave the organization.
Committees
From the organization area, admin users have admin privileges over all committees in your organization. This allows them to edit committee settings, copy settings from one committee to another and manage members of each committee. (Edit membership, contact info or remove members)
People
In the people section, admin users can view all registered MyCommittee users in the organization. This allows them to view membership, add users to other committees or subcommittees, edit contact info and remove members from all committees at once (E.g. after a person leaves the organization).
Documents
Documents uploaded in the organization are are automatically shared with all committees in your organization. They will show up under ‘Shared documents’ for every committee and members will also be able to view and download them on the organization home page.
Logo
When you upload your organization’s logo under in the organization area, it will replace the default MyCommittee logo on all your committee pages.
Committees can still upload a different logo under the committee settings if desired.
