What Is an Admin Account?

Admin Accounts are for program staff, supervisors, and other team members who help manage and communicate with your Reporters.


Your Impact Suite keeps everyone focused on the tools and data they need — nothing more, nothing less.

Common Admin tasks:

  • Review and screen timesheets

  • Manage Reporter/Admin/Site data

  • View survey results, attendance, and performance measures

  • Run exports and reports


Understanding Admin Roles

Admin Roles are bundles of permissions you assign to Admins. You’ll only need a handful of well-named roles to stay organized.


Example: “Reporter Manager” might be able to:

  • Manage & edit Reporter accounts

  • View (but not edit) other Admin accounts

  • Review survey data only for assigned Sites

  • Screen timesheets as a Timesheet Supervisor


How to get there:

  1. On the left, in your Mission Control click Reporters, Admins, & Sites.

  2. On the right, select Create & manage admin roles.

  3. Click Create a New Admin Role, name it, set permissions, Save.

  4. Repeat for each role you need.


Tip: A little setup here keeps permissions clean and simple later.

Creating Admin Profiles

Use the Admin Profile Management System to capture everything you need about each Admin—contact info, emergency contacts, photos, documents, dates, addresses, certifications, and milestones.


How to get there:

  1. On the left, in your Mission Control, click Reporters, Admins, & Sites.

  2. On the right, click Manage Admin Accounts.

  3. In the More menu (far right), choose Manage Fields & Profile Layout.

  4. Create panels and sub-panels, add fields, and drag-and-drop to rearrange.

Why this matters: Your profiles can grow with your program—no engineering help required.

Understand Admin Account Statuses

Each Admin has one of three statuses to help you track onboarding:

  • Awaiting Invitation — Account created; Welcome Email not sent yet.

  • Invited — Welcome Email sent; waiting for the Admin to activate.

  • Live — Admin has logged in and is ready to go.

Resend invitations anytime

  • On Manage admin accounts, open the Select-Action drop-down.

  • Choose Send Welcome/Password Setup Email to All Without Passwords and follow the prompts.
