The Manager Users page in the Partner Portal provides tools to manage account users, add new members, and customize permissions. If you are a FreeWill Portal Admin, this means you have the Manage Users permission toggle to "ON." 
 
By default, all new Portal users have access to Contacts, Requests, Gifts, Dashboards, William AI-powered Writing Assistant, Learning Hub, Marketing Library and the Partner Resource Hub. For users who do not need access to sensitive donor information, you can toggle Individual Donor Information to "OFF."

How to manage page access for users in Portal

When setting up new users in Portal, it's important to tailor their access based on their role within your organization. All users who have permission to access User Management can set and edit Page Access permissions for users. Here’s a guide to adjusting user permissions for Page Access:

Page access options

  • User Management
    • Default: OFF

    • Users with this permission can access the User Management page. This enables them to invite new users, edit or delete existing users, and modify Page Access permissions for all users.

ℹ️ Note: Users cannot remove their own User Management permission.
  • Customizations:

    • Default: OFF

    • Users with this permission can access the Customizations page, where they can alter logos, landing page images, and language settings for your organization’s donor-facing landing pages and flows within the Planned Giving Suite and Smart Giving Suite products.

  • Individual Donor Information:

    • Default: ON

    • Users with this permission can view detailed donor and gift information on the Contacts, Requests, and Gifts pages. If this permission is revoked, users will still have access to summary data on Dashboards, the William AI-powered Writing Assistant, the Learning Hub, and the Marketing Library.

💡 New! You can now add members of your team, such as the Marketing and Communications teams, without revealing sensitive donor data, by hiding "Individual Donor Information" from their permissions.

 

By managing these permissions, you ensure that each team member has the right level of access to perform their duties effectively while maintaining the security and integrity of sensitive data.
