User Rights determine which modules of the software and level of access each user will have.

  • User access levels can be removed or limited for each DonorView Software Module.
  • Admin Users can view/edit settings and add new users on the DonorView Users page in Account Menu:


  • Add user: select +New above the grid and fill in Name and Email address and select whether they should have Admin, Bank and/or mobile access. Default setting is "Full Access" for all Module sections.

Bank Authority User Access

Bank Authority users have access to add the organization's bank information for their sub-merchant account, and add additional sub-bank accounts. The sub-merchant account setup allows any transactions processed through DonorView to be directly deposited into your organization's linked checking account(s) via Stripe, our credit processor. Users with Bank Authority do not have to be the Responsible Individual/Signer for the Organization's bank account but will need detailed information from that individual in order to setup the sub-merchant account. See the Sub-merchant Account Setup article for instructions and required information.
