How To Add Multiple Leaders To A Team in AccessAlly

In this article we’ll explore promoting team members to team leaders within a team in AccessAlly. This feature can be helpful if a team is purchasing your offerings, but they have more than one person that needs to manage team members.

We call this feature Promoted Team Leaders.

In this example below a team leader can assign existing team members to become team leaders and or demote leaders to team member status.

Example Promoted Leaders

Tagging Within Teams Using Promoted Leaders

The promoted team leader is not able to make purchases on behalf of the team leader, but can view team leader purchases and invoices if desired.

  • Team Leader – assigned upon purchase of a team (has Team Leader tag)
  • Promoted Team Leader – assigned by a site admin or team leader (has both the Team Leader and Team Member tags)
  • Team Member – added by team leader or via self-registration (has Team Member tag)

How to Add Promoted Team Leaders

Enable This Option

AccessAlly → Teams → Programs → Select Team → Advanced → check grant team management privileges to team members.

View Team Leader Administration Dashboard

Now it’s time to view the team leader dashboard and test your button. We recommend the user switching plugin to switch from admin to team leader view if the button does not appear.

How to Remove Promoted Team Leaders
