HDC Website Access and Security
Detailed Help
The Hayward Dance Club (HDC) website has an access system where each member has a level of priviledge that gives them access to see different types of data and different functionality to change it.

The website attempts the access and privacy needs in a good way.

  • As a social dance club, we want to make it easier to get to know more about our fellow members and make it easier to invite more members to join us.
  • We want to protect contact information from people we don't know well.
  • We want to allow users of the website (members and guests) control of what they are willing to share and with whom.
  • We want guests to participate in surveys, getting our online newsletter, and helping them to get to know the people they shared a dance with to encourage them to join us.
  • We want to facilitate joint events with other clubs.

To do a balanced job of the above, the website gives everyone a login and password to access the non public information an features. They are also given an access or privilege level that entitles them to different features:

  1. The special login account that can be used by anyone to have a guest registration form. This login has the sole access to that form and has no other access.
  2. All guests, staff, and everyone who has a login account. This level grants access to club faqs, brief directory and headshots with no contact information.
  3. Add all former and inactive members. Add access to surveys, newsletters, and photo rosters .
  4. Add full member for current paid members. Add access to member contact information, more details about couples.
  5. Add anyone on a dance committee that needs to update reservations, events, and food. Add editing capability for events, registrations, bands, and menu items and choices.
  6. Executive Board. Add visibility to viewing details about billing.
  7. Add Treasuerer and President (handling money). Add editing and creation of invoices and updating payment status.
  8. Security Administrator. Adds ability to change logins, passwords, and access.
  9. System Administrator. Has full access and update capability to all website data.
