Using the Persons module


Note: The Persons Module is not for creating backend users. The module is used to create persons entities, for use in other modules in the backend, so their information can be in one common location, to be displayed in the frontend of the website.



The Persons Module is located in the left side of the Web Engine backend interface. It is used to manage (Add, Update, Disable, Enable, Delete) person records for the system in the other modules:

  • Website: used in the avatar block (President, Director and all roles in the Division, Union, Conference, etc.)
  • Entity: used as the entity contact
  • Hope Channel: person could be a Host, Panelist, etc.
  • Sermons: can be used as the Preacher in the Sermons module


Persons may have various roles across entities or within the same entity.
