Online Family Tree
Assigning Permissions

When you create an Online Family Tree, you can assign members of your site the ability to view and modify genealogical information or to only view the information. All members of your site are given view only rights by default. In order for any member of your site to write to the Online Family Tree, you must give them permission. To assign permissions, follow the instructions below:

1. From the main Online Family Tree page, click the Online Family Tree you want to assign member permissions on. The Pedigree View of the Online Family Tree will display.
   
   
2. Click Share on the menu bar. A drop down menu will display.
   
   
3. Select Member Permissions from the drop down menu. A separate browser window will launch displaying a Member Permissions page.
   
   
4. Locate the member you want to assign permissions for and click the drop down menu to the right of their name in the Rights column.
   
   
5. Select the appropriate rights from the drop down menu.
   
   
6. For each member you want to assign new rights for, go through the above process.
   
   
7. Click the Update button located at the bottom of the window underneath the table. The browser window will close.
