  • Contributor—Contributors can be given access to and control over specified content. When they publish their changes on a page, they become public immediately.
  • ViewerViewers can access specified content but cannot edit that content.
  • Correspondent—Correspondents are hidden user accounts that store biographical information, but the user cannot sign in. These accounts can help display information about visiting pastors, specifically when adding their sermons (audio or video) to the media collection or adding a person as an "Email Notification" recipient of submitted website forms.
