Roles and Access

Sacramentum uses a role-based access system to ensure that priests, administrators, and parishioners have access to the features they need while keeping sensitive data secure.

Overview of Roles​

There are three primary roles in Sacramentum:

  1. Administrator: Full control over parish settings, users, and schedules.
  2. Priest: Focused on managing personal schedules, availability, and Mass intentions.
  3. User (Parishioner): Can view public information and request services like Mass intentions.

Administrator​

Administrators act as the managers of the parish's digital presence. They have the highest level of access within a parish.

Key capabilities:

  • Manage all users, locations, and schedules
  • Oversee Mass intentions from request to fulfillment
  • Coordinate sacramental celebrations (Baptisms, Weddings, Funerals, Quinceaneras)
  • Configure parish settings, payments, and email
  • Access financial reports, invoices, receipts, and payouts
  • Manage facility bookings and visitation ministry (when enabled)

:::tip Admin-Priests An Administrator can also be a Priest. When creating an admin user, check the "Also a priest" option. This gives full administrative powers while also allowing assignment to Masses and claiming intentions. :::

Priest​

The Priest role is streamlined for liturgical schedule and ministry duties.

Key capabilities:

  • View personal calendar with assigned Masses, Confessions, and events
  • Manage your own Mass intentions (view assigned, claim from pool, mark fulfilled)
  • Access sacramental celebration details (Weddings, Baptisms, Funerals)
  • Set recurring availability and schedule time off
  • Update personal profile and preferred title (Fr., Msgr., etc.)

:::note Priest Limitations Priests cannot edit the schedules of other priests or change parish-wide settings unless they are also Administrators. :::

User (Parishioner)​

This is the standard role for anyone who registers with the parish. It provides My Parish, a personal console for everything you do with the parish.

Key capabilities:

  • View pending requests, upcoming Masses, and fulfilled intentions at a glance
  • Track intention request status (Pending, Scheduled, Fulfilled)
  • Access complete intention history and claim past guest requests
  • View and pay invoices, download receipts
  • Manage personal profile and contact details
  • Serve in a ministry from Serve, when your parish uses the volunteer portal
  • Use the ministry areas a parish shares with you as a leader, under Ministry Scheduler

Troubleshooting​

I can't see the "Settings" menu​

You likely have the Priest role instead of Administrator. Contact another parish administrator to update your role if you need additional access.

I can't be assigned to a Mass​

Ensure your account is marked as a Priest or Admin (Also a priest). Standard Administrators without the priest designation cannot be assigned to liturgical events.
