Setting a password for a module

You can optionally set a password for each module in ChurchSuite, adding a further layer of security to the data within a module. Additionally, because Administrators ordinarily have access to all modules, a module password enables you to restrict Administrator access to a module unless they know the module password. For example, you may have Administrator users who should have full oversight of your ChurchSuite account but to whom you'd like to restrict access to the Giving module, where giver and donation data may be considered confidential to a Finance Team only. By setting a module password, you can restrict module access. A module password applies to all users, regardless of the site or sites they may have access to - it's not a site-specific module password.

Setting the module password

For each module to be secured, head into the module settings via the cogwheel icon in the top-right corner of the module. On the Module options tab, click Edit to change the module Password status.

On the Module Password pop-up, change the setting from Disabled to Enabled and enter the New Password and the Confirm Password. A password Strength and Password Criteria indicator is shown to help set a strong password. Click Save once you're happy with your selection.

You must log out and back into ChurchSuite to apply the changes. Now, when attempting to access the module, you will be required to enter the module Password.

To change or disable a module password, return to the Module options. You'll be asked to enter the current module password to confirm the changes.

What if I've forgotten a module password?

For security reasons, a forgotten module password cannot be reset by a User. However, if you enable "support access" for your ChurchSuite account and contact ChurchSuite Support with a note of the module name, we can reset the module password for you. Note that we may require confirmation from your designated Account Contact or an identifiable module user.
