Understading your members' status

Understanding your members' status helps you manage your site community more effectively. Site members are all the people who currently have access to your members area. The Pending status shows member requests that are waiting for your approval. Blocked members are those you’ve restricted from accessing your members area, while Reported members are individuals who have been flagged by others for review. These statuses help you keep track of activity and maintain a safe, welcoming environment for everyone on your site. You can filter your contacts list to see only your site members. 

Creating a new member

You can turn existing contacts into site members when you want to give certain contacts access to member-only areas or features. Choose which contacts to upgrade, or create new ones, and invite them to join your site as members in just a few steps. Your new members will receive an email asking them to create a password for their new account on your site. 

To create a new member:

  1. Go to Contacts in your site's dashboard.
  2. (Optional) Create a new contact or Import contacts.
  3. Click the More Actions icon  at the top of the page.
  4. Select Set contacts as members from the drop-down menu.
