Tutorial: Manage Members ​

This tutorial covers how to manage members and teams within your organization.

Prerequisites: You must be an admin of an organization.


Viewing members ​

  1. Open your organization.
  2. Click the Members tab.

You'll see everyone in the organization with their role. Admins and coordinators can open this tab; only admins can change anything in it.

Adding a member ​

  1. In the Members tab, click Add member.
  2. Enter the email address of the person. They must already have a Zelo account.
  3. Select a role: Admin or Coordinator.
  4. Click Add member. They join right away.

If no account uses that email, or the person is already a member, the dialog tells you and stays open. There are no email invitations yet.

Changing a member's role ​

  1. Find the member in the list.
  2. Pick the new role in the Role dropdown next to their name.
RoleWhat changes
AdminFull control — can add/remove members, change roles, manage the organization
CoordinatorCan create and manage events: registrations, teams, shifts and timesheets

Promoting someone to Admin gives them full control over the organization, including the ability to remove other admins.

The organization's only admin can't be demoted: the dropdown is disabled until there is a second admin.

Removing a member ​

  1. Find the member in the Members tab.
  2. Click Remove next to their name and confirm.

The member loses access to the organization immediately and gets a notification. You can't remove yourself, and the only admin can't be removed.

Creating teams ​

Teams help you organize volunteers within an event.

  1. Open an event.
  2. Go to the Teams tab.
  3. Click New team and give it a name.
  4. Add registered volunteers to the team by selecting them from the registrations list.
