A "member" in Church Directory, is any man, woman or child, at your congregation, that belong in the church directory.
This is not to be confused with being a "Christian", which is identified by your congregation.
When someone is a member of your congregation in Church Directory, they have access to login to Church Directory and access your congregations' account; as long as they have an email address on file for their user account. (Or have setup alternate login options)
A member is "marked" as a member by being added to a Role that "indicates membership".
This flag on a Role can be set under the "General Settings" tab when editing a Role, and selecting the appropriate checkbox. Here's an example:
These default Roles were setup for you when your account was created.
NOTE: This method is only a Role that determines membership access.
It is highly recommended to follow some best practices for this special flag on Roles.
Only make one Role "indicate membership" (usually the "Member" role).
Only make one Group "indicate visitors" (usually the "Visitors" group).
There is no need to create a "Visitor role".
