Managing Your Team

Add teachers, set their service assignments, and manage access for your entire ministry team from the Manage Users page.

User Roles

Every user has a role that determines what they can see and do.

Adding a New User

1. Go to Manage Users and click Add a User.
2. Enter their first name, last name, and email address (this becomes their login).
3. Set their role (Teacher or Ministry Administrator).
4. Assign a default service — this is required and controls which service's lesson schedule they see on their dashboard.
5. Set a temporary password. Let them know to change it after their first login via their Profile page.
6. Click Save. They can now log in at teachusthebible.com/login.php.

Editing a User

Click the user's name on the Manage Users page to open their profile. You can update their name, role, service assignment, or reset their password from here.

To send a password reset link to a user, select their checkbox on the Manage Users list and use the bulk Send Password Reset action — or use the Reset Password button on their profile.

Service Assignments

If your ministry runs multiple services (e.g. 9am and 11am), you can assign each teacher to their default service. They'll see that service's lesson schedule on their dashboard. Teachers can temporarily switch services themselves using the Change Service menu.

Removing a User

To remove a teacher's access, check the box next to their name on the Manage Users page and choose Delete from the bulk actions menu. The account is deactivated immediately — they will no longer be able to log in.

You cannot delete the last Ministry Administrator on an account.

Unlocking a Locked Account

After too many failed login attempts, an account is automatically locked for security. On the Manage Users page, locked accounts show a Locked badge. Click the badge or go to that user's profile to unlock them.
