We are excited to announce the launch of updated product names, logos, and headers within our user interfaces as part of the CivicPlus® Solution Rebranding initiative. These changes mark the first step toward creating a cohesive and seamless user experience across all solutions in our portfolio. As part of this transition, users may notice minor design updates. While the functionality you rely on remains unchanged, we are in the process of updating screenshots and other resources on our Help Centers to reflect the new branding. We appreciate your patience and understanding as we work to complete these updates.

Set Category Permissions in Agenda Center

  • Updated:

Depending on the state in which you live only certain staff positions can publish an agenda. Due to this, the Agenda Center Module requires a user to have Owner rights to be able to publish an agenda that is visible to the public. 

 

Important Note

  • We recommend that you assign permissions at the category level. This way, you only give the permissions to that category and not the whole module.
