Concepts
Community, section, space, member, role and visibility: the pieces and how they fit.
- CommunityThe community is the unit of everything on Memberfy. Address, brand, structure, people and money belong to it, and nothing crosses from one community to another.
- Roles and permissionsMemberfy's access levels (from visitor to owner), who grants each role, how they combine with each space's visibility and rules, and why a button shows up for one person and not for another.
- SectionsA section is the group in the side menu that holds spaces. It has its own name, icon, visibility and access list, and decides what shows up first when someone comes in.
- SpacesA space is the area where things happen: it lives inside a section, has a module, and defines who sees it, who creates content and what it takes to get in.
- ModulesThe module is a space's type. There are ten: Feed, Content, Events, Courses, Gallery, Ranking, Link, Call for papers, Store and Certificates. What each one does, who creates content in it and when to use it.
- Account and profileThe account is the person and their login, the same in every community; the profile is who they are inside one community, with a role, display name, tags and points.
- Visibility and accessWho sees each section and each space (public, members, subscribers or private), how the access list by group, product and plan works, how section and space combine and what people without access see.
- GlossaryMemberfy's terms in one line each, with the name they have on screen and in the API.
