Depending on your church structure, you may want to take away or add certain permissions. **Tip** In our recommendations you will find the total amount of permissions that we think a leader or staff member of such a group should have. In some churches there may be co-leaders, organizers or similar roles in a group. If this is the case for you, then simply divide the permissions we recommend among these roles, or reassign the subset of permissions you think is useful to the appropriate roles. Basically, we recommend that members of a division group should be able to see who else is part of that group and what dates are coming up. If your church uses the ChurchTools App, it may also be useful to share the chat function with the group so division leaders can easily communicate outside of their meetings. For division leaders, we also recommend sharing the follow-up feature to make it easier for them to manage their group and care for its leaders. If you provide a meeting space to groups in your church, it's also a good idea to give the leader of a division group access to the resource bookings, i.e. to avoid double bookings. ## Global permissions for leaders ### Permissions for Persons & Groups [![](https://staging.churchtools.academy/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Permissions_global_division_leaders_leader_persons_and_groups-517x1024.png)](https://staging.churchtools.academy/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Permissions_global_division_leaders_leader_persons_and_groups.png) **Tip** *Comments* can be saved for each person. For these comments you can also define different categories (e.g. leader, admin etc...) in the *master data*. You can then authorize these categorized comments with the permission *View comments* and selecting the according level. ### Permissions for Calendar [![](https://staging.churchtools.academy/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Permissions_global_division_leaders_leader_calendar.png)](https://staging.churchtools.academy/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Permissions_global_division_leaders_leader_calendar.png) ### Permissions for Events [![](https://staging.churchtools.academy/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Permissions_global_division_leaders_leader_events_1_from_2.png)](https://staging.churchtools.academy/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Permissions_global_division_leaders_leader_events_1_from_2.png) [![](https://staging.churchtools.academy/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Permissions_global_division_leaders_leader_events_2_from_2.png)](https://staging.churchtools.academy/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Permissions_global_division_leaders_leader_events_2_from_2.png) ### Permissions for Resources [![](https://staging.churchtools.academy/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Permissions_global_division_leaders_leader_resources.png)](https://staging.churchtools.academy/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Permissions_global_division_leaders_leader_resources.png) ### Permissions for Wiki [![](https://staging.churchtools.academy/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Permissions_global_division_leaders_leader_wiki.png)](https://staging.churchtools.academy/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Permissions_global_division_leaders_leader_wiki.png) ## Global Permissions for workers ### Permissions for Persons & Groups [![](https://staging.churchtools.academy/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Permissions_global_division_leaders_worker_persons_and_groups-1024x836.png)](https://staging.churchtools.academy/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Permissions_global_division_leaders_worker_persons_and_groups.png) ### Permissions for Calendar [![](https://staging.churchtools.academy/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Permissions_global_division_leaders_worker_calendar.png)](https://staging.churchtools.academy/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Permissions_global_division_leaders_worker_calendar.png) ### Permissions for Wiki [![](https://staging.churchtools.academy/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Permissions_global_division_leaders_worker_wiki.png)](https://staging.churchtools.academy/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Permissions_global_division_leaders_worker_wiki.png) ## Group-internal permissions for leaders and workers ### Group-internal permissions for Persons & Groups [![](https://staging.churchtools.academy/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Permissions_group_intern_division_leaders_leader_worker_persons_and_groups-900x1024.png)](https://staging.churchtools.academy/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Permissions_group_intern_division_leaders_leader_worker_persons_and_groups.png) ### Group-internal permissions for Events and Finance [![](https://staging.churchtools.academy/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Permissions_group_intern_division_leaders_leader_worker_events_and_finances-1024x663.png)](https://staging.churchtools.academy/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Permissions_group_intern_division_leaders_leader_worker_events_and_finances.png) #### Read more - [Recommendations for group permissions](https://staging.churchtools.academy/en/help/permissions-management/authorise-groups/21-recommendations-for-group-permissions/) - [Create and authorize a group for division leaders](https://staging.churchtools.academy/en/help/permissions-management/authorise-groups/21-create-and-authorize-a-group-for-division-leaders/) - [Permissions for subsidiary groups](https://staging.churchtools.academy/en/help/permissions-management/authorise-groups/21-permissions-for-subsidiary-groups/)
