Administrator FAQs

Administrator Frequently Asked Questions

How are local chapters and organizers setup?

_Users_ with the _role_ of _administrator_ on an _instance_ of **Chapter** can use the admin dashboard to setup _chapters_ and _organizers_.

Can our existing _members_ from Meetup.com, Facebook, etc be imported into Chapter?

Most event services purposely do not allow for exporting your _users_' details, which is one of the reasons we're building **Chapter**. This means it's often not possible, or practical, to import _members_ to a _chapter_. That said, the easiest way to invite _users_ to **Chapter** is to use your existing platform's contact / messaging tool to let _members_ know to sign up for your instance of **Chapter**.

How do we deal with fake accounts or blocking abusive users?

**Chapter** will initially have a feature that allows _administrators_ and _organizers_ to manually ban users.

Users will need to validate their email address as sign up, which will also provide a basic mechanism to filter out some fake registrations.
