Feature Description.
We would like WA to develop a new "Administrator" class that would enable the user to "read only" all the membership data in the Membership database. They would be able to do "Advanced Searches" on this criteria, and download the results of searches. They would NOT have the privilege of uploading records. We would like them to see information that cannot be seen at the membership level of the MMS (and even information that members have selected not to be shown in the on-line membership directory). This includes details of active members, lapsed members, pending members, names, addresses, emails, and all other membership data fields.
They would not be able to send "email blasts", this is reserved for the existing admin classifications. If the capability can be limited to specific criteria, then it may be ok to give them email sending privileges.
They would not need to see the financial reports or transaction records (unless this was able to be limited to specific criteria).
Rationale
The reason we need this capability is that we have member groups, all over the country (called "Sections"), that need to keep track of their local membership, currently the local Section Executives are just at the general membership level. We don't want to give them all full membership management "Admin" privileges as this would be difficult to control and may jeopardize the integrity of the whole system. There are over 25 sections across the country.
Currently the system administrators have to provide this information based on specific requests from Sections, and it would be easier if we gave the local section executive the privilege of seeing this information themselves, when they want and need to, rather than having to wait for the current administrators.
