User roles
Learn how to add users and assign roles in your Fundraise Up account.
Your team in Fundraise Up can include multiple users with different permissions for specific tasks.
Organizations can invite as many teammates as needed, since Fundraise Up does not charge per seat. However, by default, you can add up to 50 users. To increase this limit, contact Fundraise Up support.
Add users
To add a user to your account:
- Go to Settings > Team.
- Click Invite user.
- Enter the user’s email address, first name, and last name.
- Select a user role (see details below).
Invited users receive an email with login instructions.
User roles
You can assign specific roles to users to control their access to Fundraise Up. We recommend granting the lowest level of permissions needed for each person’s responsibilities. This helps limit the number of team members with full administrative access to your account.
