User Management
The bank organization admin Users can manage both the staff who have access to humanessentials.app at the bank, and at each of the bank’s Partners. The Partners can manage their own Users as well, but it is sometimes necessary for the bank to be able to add a User at the Partner due to staff turnover.
How do I know what access I have?
If you look at the left-hand menu, and you see, down at the bottom, a section “My Organization”, then you have admin access.
Otherwise, if you see “Donations”, you have bank User access.
If, instead, you see “My Profile”, you are currently signed in as a Partner.
