Understanding User Views
Useful information for food banks, donor branches, donor organisations, charity branches, and charity organisations.
The User View is a filter that determines what information a User can see depending on their User Permissions. All Users login to Foodiverse as a particular type of User role. The User View filter is available in the Reports module of the Foodiverse application and will be rolled out to other modules in time.
The User View filter will be set according to your role permissions when you login to Foodiverse.
e.g. If your User Type is Org Admin, the User View filter will default to an Org Admin. If a user changes their default ‘user view’, this selected user view will follow them to other pages of the platform where ‘user view’ needs to be selected.

User Types and their permissions
User Type | What they can see and do | Benefit |
---|---|---|
Branch User or Viewer |
| This User Type helps admins to limit what some of their staff can see. |
Org Admin (Donor or Charity) |
| This allows the staff belonging to the Donor or Charity to see and edit everything, including branch information and impact reports. |
Food Net Admin |
| This allows the staff belonging to the Food Bank to see and edit everything, including schedules, Food Net memberships and reports about their members. |
Member Manager or Viewer |
| Food Net Admins can allocate Food Bank branch users this role if they want them to be able to manage the schedules of specific donor members. For example, account managers may only want to be able to view and edit the details and impact of donor members for which they are responsible. |
