Roles & Permissions

Control who can access what, per resource and per branch.

Holy Resource uses branch-aware RBAC. Access decisions are based on:

  • the user's global role
  • branch assignment
  • resource + action permissions

Open Users & Permissions

Go to Settings → Users & Permissions.

Depending on license mode and role, you can manage:

  • users
  • permission templates
  • branch roles

Add a Staff Member

Create a user account, set credentials, and optionally assign initial branch access.

Assigning a Role

Choose a pre-defined role or create a custom one. Roles are collections of permissions.

  • Global and branch roles can differ.
  • The same person can have different branch access in different locations.

Branch-Level Access

Use Manage Branch Access on a user to assign branch-specific roles and permissions.

A staff member can be powerful in one branch and limited in another.

Permission Resource Types

Permissions are defined by Resource and Action:

ResourceActions
ExamplesTypical actions
Members / Families / MinistriesRead, Write, Delete, Export
Events / Attendance / VolunteersRead, Write, Delete, Manage
Donations / Finances / ExpensesRead, Write, Delete, Export
Settings / Users / BranchesRead, Write, Manage

If someone can see a screen but cannot complete an action, check both their branch access and the resource-action permission for that feature.
