District Roles in Position Manager

My Scouting Tools
1

Is there documentation or other explanation of what the district roles are in Position Manager? Some are obvious, some are not. I’m particularly interested in how assigning someone to a position changes what tools and permissions they have.

For example:

  • What is different between a “District Training Committee Chair” and “District Training Committee Member”? In other words, what can a “Chair” do in the tools that a “Member” cannot?
  • What does the “District Registration Support” role do? Is that any different from “District Membership Committee Member”?
  • What additional tools and permissions does “District Camping Chair” get?

A run-down of all of the district roles in Position Manager would be greatly appreciated! (For context: I’m a new District Chair, and trying to get my district’s slate added so the right people have the right tools.)

I would also like to know this. As District Advancement Chair, I have access to things that make sense for membership, but not much specific to advancement.

I think the information you are looking for can be found at the link below, on pages 16 and 17 of this PDF document, listed under ROLE TO FUNCTIONALITY MATRICES:

It can be quite hard to read because of the tiny print. The file was from 2019 and the actual chart was updated in 2017. It would be great to get an updated version of this someday. However, the information provided is still useful (and I believe still accurate from what I’ve checked).
I hope this helps.

Thanks! That’s exactly what I was looking for. I agree an update would be helpful, but what’s there is already really useful.
