Manage Convention User Privileges
By default, the leader of a group that controls the convention has all of the privileges for the convention (and the bank account for the group leader will be used for any convention payments). All emails regarding financials will be directed to Group Leaders. Directors of a group that controls the convention have all of the privileges for the convention, except for access to the information about the bank account. Group Leader and Directors have access to these areas before, during and after the convention.
Conventions often have organizers who are not Group Leaders or Directors that need access to all or a specific portion of convention functionality including emails regarding that portion. You can assign access through convention privileges. Access through convention privileges ends when your convention concludes.
