What is the difference between group owners and group administrators?

This article explains the differences in permissions between group owners and group administrators.

The number of administrators you can add is limited by your group's subscription plan:

• Starter: a group owner
• Plus: two administrators (including your group owner)
• Pro: five administrators (including your group owner)
• Full Platform: unlimited administrators

How do I add administrators to my group? to assist them in managing the group.

Group administrators and group owners collectively are referred to as group managers, as they share many of the same user privileges.

Group owners and group administrators share many of the same controls over their groups, including the following:

Group management

• Editing the group's details, e.g. name, location, logo, summary

• Editing the group's application form for new members

• Submitting a request for group verification

• Adding or removing group administrators

• Activating and managing donations

• Accessing social impact reports

• Requesting and managing partnerships with other groups on Be Collective

• Exporting group data in CSV format (Be Collective Plus+ only)

Member management

• Creating, editing and removing member types

• Reviewing and responding to applications for group membership

• Inviting/adding members, individually or through bulk uploads

• Removing members from the group

• Viewing and updating member profiles

Opportunity management

• Creating and editing volunteer opportunities and events <../schedule-rostering/how-do-i-create-an-event>

• Reviewing and responding to applications for volunteer opportunities

• Reviewing and approving or amending timesheets for volunteering

• Managing shifts and schedules for opportunities

• Ending opportunities

• Providing feedback to volunteers

The following controls are also available to group owners only

• Closing the group
• Transferring ownership of the group to an administrator

Notifications

All notifications sent to group managers are received by group owners and group administrators alike. Notifications cannot be changed at group level – they can instead be changed by individual managers through their own Be Collective profiles.
