How to grant other users administrative access to your conference

There are several situations where you might want to give other users administrative access to your conference dashboard, so that they can also edit your conference webpage, or access the financial status of your conference. For instance, if you are co-organizing a conference with another user. Alternatively, you might want to give another member of your team (e.g. personal assistant, or your boss) or of your institution (e.g. Finance department, Conference department) access to the conference financials. Here is how !

  1. First log into your account
  2. Click on "Conferences I organize"
  3. In the table "My Conferences", click on the row corresponding to the conference you want to work on.
  4. This is your conference dashboard. Scroll down to the section "Users with admin access"
  5. Enter the email address of the user to whom you want to grant access. If the user is not yet registered on the Conference Central website, ask them to register first.
  6. If you want the user to be able to make payout requests, click on the "can make payout requests" tick box.

    IMPORTANT ! You should only do this if you fully trust the other user ! If you grant them this permission, they will be able to write a bank account number in the "Payout Request" form, and ask that money from your conference gets transferred there.
  7. Then click on the green "+" button to add this user to the list of users with administrative access.
  8. Done ! You can see their name on the list now.

    You can add as many users as you wish. You can also remove administrative access from a user by clicking on the trash can icon. To the right of the user's name, it will indicate whether the user can make payout requests.
