Departments

Departments are the operational teams that run church activities: media, finance, facilities, ushering, and similar teams, each with a lead and a roster.

Creating a department

Field	Notes
Name	Required.
Description	Optional.
Lead	Optional. Chosen from active members.
Status	Active or Inactive.

Managing the roster

Add or remove members from a department's roster on the department's own page, or from a member's profile under their Departments tab.

Departments vs. Groups

See Groups for how these two compare. Structurally they're the same, the distinction is about what each team is for in your church.

Department-scoped access

Like groups, access can be granted for a single department only, following that department's roster rather than the whole directory. See Roles & Access for how to assign it.
