Roles and Permissions
Wavelength lets you assign roles so your members have exactly the permissions they need. This guide will walk through the different types of roles and permission on Wavelength.
There are two types of roles on Wavelength, users and admins. Stripe Admins are important roles to the Wavelength network, but are not directly managed by Wavelength.
Users
Most people on Wavelength are users. They can update their data, set their privacy settings, donate, and search.
Admins
Admins are power Users. They have the power to group email all of your alumni and edit anyone’s data.
Organizations should assign admin status to individuals that either maintain the data quality or manage alumni outreach.
A good rule of thumb is to identify whether you feel comfortable with that person emailing all of your members. If you do, then they would make a good admin!
Email Point Person
Wavelength gives you one Wavelength email that your members can respond to. Wavelength forwards those communications to one admin of your choice. That person will be in charge of responding to any inquiry and typically manages alumni communications.
Stripe Admin
For those organizations that process donations with Wavelength, they will need to assign a Stripe admin.
Stripe admins have full access to all of your transaction data and bank data. They are typically treasurers or in charge of development organizations. Stripe admins handle your payouts and donation analysis.
Wavelength does not manage your Stripe Admins, but they are important to facilitate your donations.
Stripe admins will know who gave what amount, when, so be selective about who you put in charge. Stripe Admins do not need to be Wavelength admins, but frequently they are. However, not all Wavelength admins are Stripe Admins.
