New page

Asmbly has a evolved a simplified set of privilege groups that describe an individual's characteristics with respect to the organization. These are all managed via Neon, but membership in some groups is inferred from other account attributes.

Note that a Neon account may have more than one type, and a Discourse user may be in multiple groups.

==== Subscribers ====
Any Neon account with an associated Membership record with a start date <= today, an end date >= today, and a successful payment is an Asmbly subscriber. When that payment is greater than $0 the subscriber is paid, otherwise the subscriber is comped. Paid and Comped subscribers have identical behavior in all Asmbly systems except for our daily ledger counts. Note that paid memberships might have been paid by gift certificate.

Subscribers are added to the "Asmbly Makers" group on Discourse.
Subscribers have access to the Asmbly facility during normal operating hours.

''Note for Neon backend users: The results of a Neon default filter for subscribers will return accounts whose membership records have failed payments, e.g. auto-renewals on expired credit cards. Asmbly does not provide a grace period to subscribers with failed payments.''

==== Stewards ====
A Subscriber with the "Steward" account type is a Steward.

Stewards are added to the "Stewards" group on Discourse.
Stewards have access to Stewards' storage areas at Asmbly.
Stewards are allocated additional booking hours in Skedda.

==== Instructors ====
A Neon account with the "Instructor" type is an Instructor. Note that Instructors need not be Asmbly subscribers.

Instructors have access to Instructors' storage areas in Asmbly.
