Managing Your Organizations

The User Organizations page is the first page you see after logging in at church.worshipbuddy.org. It shows all the organizations you belong to and allows you to access them or join new ones.

Viewing Your Organizations

After logging in, you’ll see a page listing all organizations you’re a member of. Each organization card shows:
  • Organization Name
  • Organization ID (for sharing with others)
  • Edit button (Owner only — opens organization edit popup for name, type, and address; Delete Org on this popup is not functional today — use mobile More → Organization Settings → Delete Organization)
  • Setup button (Owner only, when setup wizard steps remain incomplete)
Non-owners see only the organization name and ID (with copy). Organization Admins rename the org under Organization → Organization Details inside the org.
Note: On mobile, see More → Your Role on the org card — shows Owner, Admin, Scheduler, or Member. There is no separate Team Admin or Viewer label; Team Admins with scheduler permission show as Scheduler, others as Member.

Accessing an Organization

To access an organization’s schedule and features:
  1. Click on the organization card
  2. You’ll be taken to that organization’s Dashboard
  3. From there, use the top navigation: Dashboard, People, Calendar, Organization, etc.
Tip: You can belong to multiple organizations. Each organization maintains its own teams, services, and members.

Joining a New Organization

To join a new organization, you need the Organization ID from that organization’s administrator.

Joining via Organization ID

Web:
  1. Click Join Organization
  2. Enter the Organization ID
  3. Click Join
  4. You’ll be added to the organization and can immediately access it
Mobile app:
  1. On the Dashboard, tap Join Org
  2. Enter the Organization ID
  3. Tap Join
Joining adds you to the organization immediately — there is no separate confirmation email.

Finding Your Organization ID

If you’re trying to share your organization’s ID with others:
  1. Go to Organization in the top navigation
  2. Click the Organization Details sub-tab
  3. The Organization ID is displayed at the top
  4. Click Copy to copy it to your clipboard
  5. Share it with people you want to invite

Organization Roles

Your role determines what you can do within each organization:
  • Owner - You created the organization and have full control
  • Organization Admin - Extensive permissions across the organization
  • Team Admin - Administrative control over specific teams
  • Scheduler - Can assign people to services for their teams
  • Viewer - Read-only access to assigned teams
  • Member - Default role with no special permissions
See the Permissions documentation for details on what each role can do.

Switching Between Organizations

If you belong to multiple organizations:
  1. Click the ChurchBuddy brand in the top navigation to return to the organizations list
  2. Click on a different organization to switch to it
  3. Your settings and preferences are separate for each organization

Leaving an Organization

Web: Open your person detail page (/org-person-detail/) → Leave Organization → confirm. Mobile: More → Organization Settings → Leave Organization → confirm.
Owners must transfer ownership before leaving. Other members can leave themselves without contacting an admin.

Troubleshooting

Can’t see an organization you should belong to:
  • Make sure you’re logged in with the correct email address
  • Verify that you’ve been added to the organization (check with an admin)
  • Try refreshing the page
Want to join but don’t have Organization ID:
  • Contact the organization’s administrator
  • Ask them for the Organization ID
  • They can find it in Organization → Organization Details
Accidentally joined wrong organization:
  • Contact the organization’s Owner or Admin to have you removed
  • Then join the correct organization with the right Organization ID
