Allowing Friends to access your Famundo site

One of our users is on a fundraising committee for her school and wants to use Famundo to schedule all the meetings, deadlines, etc., in order to insure a successful event. She mentioned that she didn’t feel it would be appropriate to add the calendar to her school’s Famundo site. She said she would create a new calendar for the fundraiser on her personal Famundo site, but she didn’t want the other committee members looking at her personal Famundo items and wouldn’t want the calendar made public either.
Famundo has a solution for this situation with its flexible permission options.
The first thing you need to do do is create a new calendar for the fundraiser and set the view access “Family and Friends Only.” Each event that is added to this calendar should also have view access set to “Family and Friends Only.”
Now you can add the other committee members to your Address Book and click on “Invite” on the Contact Detail menu. This will allow you to send them an e-mail inviting them to become a member of your Famundo site. They can select their own login name and password.
Once they have accepted the invitation, they will be able to view your newly created fundraising calendar but will not have access to your personal Famundo items. The same with any documents you set with “Family and Friends Only.” access.
The public will not be able to view any of these items.
Note: At this time, contacts have to be added to your Famundo Address Book manually. We will be releasing a new build within the next two weeks that will allow you to import your contacts in a csv format.
