Setting User Permissions is one of the most powerful features of ChurchPost.com – users are invited by the Master User, and today we started rolling out some small but important upgrades to how users of various types (see below) interact with our system.

It’s always been the case that every user can search and browse EVERY subscriber using the SUBSCRIBERS tab. If a subscriber exists in at least one group that you OWN, you can also edit that subscriber, and any changes you make affect that subscriber GLOBALLY.

Up until now, when creating a message, the “Send to Individuals” feature automatically searched for subscribers that existed in at least one of your groups (ownership) – this was particularly frustrating for LIMITED users who owned only one or two groups and wanted to copy a message to someone already in the global database. Because they did NOT appear in the ‘quick search’ results for individuals, many users reported going to the SUBSCRIBERS tab, searching for the subscriber, copying the email, and returning to the COMPOSE MESSAGE page to paste the email into the CC box.

Our ‘search as you type’ feature for individual email addresses now searches your central database for ALL SUBSCRIBERS, regardless of your user type. Hopefully, this will further streamline your messaging experience.

We’re rolling out some amazing new features in the coming weeks and months, including an entirely new Standard Email platform, complete with an intuitive and highly flexible image library platform that is compatible with every major browser. Additionally, we have some surprises coming…just in time for the holidays and into the beginning of the New Year.

As always, keep your feedback coming! We cannot continue to improve our service without you.
