KaviŽ Members Help
Appendix I. Kavi Members Default Types
These tables include all the types installed by Kavi Members
by default. Types that are required by the application cannot be deleted, but they can
be edited.
Note that these tables include the KaviŽ Members default
types only, and do not include types installed by default by
other applications.
For default types installed by other applications:
To see all roles, including custom roles as well as those
installed by default, Super Admins can use the Kavi Members
Manage Roles Tool.
These types are used to classify companies. There is only
one default Company Type, but if the organization offers
memberships to companies, it will have a set
of custom Company Types that correspond to the Company Membership
Types it offers. If a company is assigned a Company Type that has any roles associated with
it, these roles will be
inherited by every user who belongs that company.

Company Types with the same role. |

Used to confer access to Member areas of a site that

used as a base for types that correspond to Company
Membership Types. The name is

Membership Type. If assigned to a
company, every user who belongs to the company is automatically granted
the 'member' role. It can also be repurposed for types to
assign to nonmember companies that require Members
access, such as staff companies. |

Every user in the Kavi Members database must be
associated with a company, and everyone must be assigned
a Contact Type to classify the way in which the user
represents their company to the organization. Contact Types can confer
administrative or editorial roles access, but the scope of these
privileges is limited to Company Area tools and company data.

information and manage other users who belong to their
company.

The 'Staff'
Contact Type is assigned to users with the purpose of
'Staff Person' if this organization employs staff
directly or

of administrative access than other web site

through highly privileged default User Types, or
through custom Contact Types or
Company Types tailored to this
organization's specific requirements. In its default
configuration, this type doesn't grant any roles.

User Types are used to classify users according to their
relationship to the organization. They commonly confer roles that
grant access privileges. There are several
default User Types. If the organization offers
memberships to individuals, it should also have a set
of custom User Types that correspond to the Individual Membership
Types it offers.
Contact Types,
which are used to classify users by the way they
represent their company to the organization, may also confer
administrator or editor privileges, but the scope of these
privileges is limited to company tools and data, whereas administrator
or editor User
Types may grant privileges to all areas of the organization's Web site.
