There is no default however you can set Privileges as a group, go to Manage, Members, Privileges then select Add Privileges or Set Access Levels and you will get a list of all members that you can select the ones you want and then set the privilege group or access level.
Aaron,
Thanks for the reply. I do understand that. I can grant privileges to existing members. But every time I create a new member ā something that I do many times a year as new scouts join the troop ā I have to grant those same privileges for every new member. That is the step I am trying to avoid.
Got it, this grouping of Privileges was the first step in improvements. There are some other things on the horizon, I think it was discussed to get some defaults. This new way does make it much easier than it used to be but a set default would be great, or the ability to select the group when creating the user would be great as well.
Hi Dave!
How do we know which Privilege provides access to specific things, such as
Newsletter Settings - We want to provide our Secretary access to this Menu Option. Which Privilege does she need? Is it āManage troop settingsā?
(it seems like that would give her a LOT of access to many things beyond just the Newsletterā¦)
Thanks!
Rachel
Perhaps @dave will jump in here but I will also give some feedback based on my experience. I have not seen a list of what privilege provides access to specific things, I have done experimentation with test accounts to figure things out when I wanted to do something specific. Generally though if there is not a specific privilege for something then it is typically contained under Manage troop settings and yes that does then give someone access beyond one small thing you want. Unfortunately it becomes much too cluttered to have every different function as a separate privilege. Some things are decidedly more Administrative so then fall under the broad Manage troop settings privilege.

Thank you.
I configured large financial systems for public companies and am use to thousands of configuration settings. I can also appreciate that Troop Track is not meant to accomplish that. 
And simplicity is more appropriate here. Just learningā¦
Challenge our Troop is having is providing Committee Members the access they need to do things (For example - Secretary and Newsletter), without opening up access to other areas outside of their area of responsibilityā¦
My philosophy has been give them access and train them to do the one task they are assigned, ask them not to make any changes to other things, in my experience most users are afraid to break things so they donāt play. Every once in a great while someone will do something by accident, but we just fix it, learn from it and move on. I get the urge to control everything but sometimes we just have to trust the adults we are dealing with.
If you feel strongly about this feel free to create a new post in the Ideas category and we can see what kind of support it gains to see if it might be considered to be implemented in the future.
