Today we made a small change to the budget tools on WordCamp sites to allow more user account types to have access. Several people had requested this change so that more organizers and volunteers for a WordCamp could be involved in financial discussions without having to give everyone admin accounts.
Before, all of the budget tools were limited to users with the Administrator role on a WordCamp site. Now, the Author and Editor roles will also have access, though with some restrictions. They can:
- View the preliminary and working budgets, but not save changes or submit for review.
- Create sponsor invoices, reimbursement requests, and vendor payment requests, but not view/change items of these types that were created by other users.
No changes were made to the Administator level of access.
If you have questions or concerns about this change, comment here or post to the meta-wordcamp channel in Slack.
