Preachers and visibility (who sees what)

Several pastors, each their own space: sermons belong to their preacher; administrators see everything.

2026-07-07

A church can have several preachers beyond the main pastor. Sanctumel separates their workspaces: no confusion between each other's sermons, and sermon notes remain each person's own work.

The rule

  • Each preacher sees only their sermons: those they created, or those where they are the designated preacher (the theme's "Preacher" field).
  • Church administrators see everything - supervision, reassignment, overview.
  • This applies to the whole chain: list, search, reading, editing, validation, deletion, editor.

Note: sermons created before this rule belong to the church: they remain visible and manageable by administrators.

Giving access to a new preacher

  1. Open Settings, then Roles, and create a Preacher role with the Preaching module permissions (view, create, edit).
  2. Invite the person: from Settings → Users, or from their member record by assigning a function with system access.
  3. On first login, their Preaching space is empty: they create their own themes and subjects, which belong to them alone.

Tip: when creating a theme, an administrator can designate a preacher: the theme will appear in that pastor's space.

Practical cases

  • Co-preaching or replacement: the administrator designates the pastor concerned as the theme's preacher - they get access immediately.
  • A pastor leaves: their sermons stay with the church; an administrator sees them and can reassign them.
  • Sunday projection: nothing changes - projection goes through scheduling, not personal spaces.
