Setting Access to Pastoral Records
Default Access Settings
Permission to view, add, change, delete, and print Pastoral Records is controlled on the Users pane of the Administration window. In the Membership section.
Each authorized user of Pastoral Records can set additional default access settings through User Preferences. To set the program default, go to the Preferences - CDM+ User window. Click on the Membership and Attendance tab and click on the Pastoral icon.

- Public makes the Pastoral Record available to all CDM+ users.
- Selected allows those users chosen from the list of CDM+ users to view the record.
A list of all other users listed on the Users pane of the Administration window will appear. Choose the default access setting you desire, and click Save.
