In WeezCrew, you can appoint a Shift Category Manager (for example: Stage 1 Manager, Bar Category Lead, etc.) to delegate team management on the ground without granting access to the entire event.
Step 1: Register the Member in the System
Before appointing someone as a Category Manager, they must exist in your event's database:
Either by having them fill out a registration form in advance.
Or by manually adding them in the Members module.
Step 2: Step-by-Step Procedure to Assign a Category Manager
Navigate to the Shifts module.
Click on the relevant shift category (e.g., Stage 1).
Locate the Manager box on the page and click to add a member.
Search for and select the desired person.
Choose the permission level to grant (see details below): Project manager, publisher or Reader Mission Manager.
Click Save.
The member will automatically receive an email containing a link to log into their dedicated portal.
Step 3: Permission Levels: Publisher vs. Reader
Project manager, publisher:
Can manage and update volunteer/staff assignments across their category's missions.
Can send email campaigns targeted exclusively to people assigned to their category's missions.
Note: They cannot edit or alter the mission settings themselves.
Reader Mission Manager
Read-only access (data viewing only).
Cannot modify assignments, send email campaigns, or edit mission settings.
Step 4: What Does a Category Manager's Interface Look Like?
When a Category Manager logs into WeezCrew, their interface is simplified and restricted strictly to their assigned scope:
Streamlined Sidebar: Access to only 4 main modules: Members, Shifts, Assignments, and Campaigns.
Targeted Member Visibility: In the Members module, they only see individuals assigned to their shifts (along with their own profile).
Targeted Shifts Visibility: In the Shifts module, only missions within their category appear.
Restricted Communication: In the Campaigns module, they can only contact volunteers and staff assigned to their specific time slots.
