Understanding the difference between admins and non-admins

With Ministry Grid, what you see when you login is dependent upon whether or not you are an Admin. Additionally, it is important to note that admin access to Ministry Grid and admin access to Gospel Project are managed separately. The platforms maintain distinct roles and permissions for efficient role-based access control.

As an Admin, you will be able to see all of Lifeway’s Curriculum brands and make key decisions on which brand and age levels you want to subscribe to. Once subscribed, Admins are able to manage and view all of the content and the full schedule available for that curriculum.

It should be noted that admin access to Gospel Project does not automatically extend to Ministry Grid, and vice versa, as each platform manages its permissions independently.

As a church, you can subscribe to multiple brands or multiple age levels. Each subscription is an individual transaction.

Individuals who are not admins (your teachers or parents as an example) will only see the curriculum that the admin shares with them.

If access issues arise, such as subscription prompts for non-admin users, it is recommended to contact an admin to address access permissions within your church's Ministry Grid account.

For example, as an Admin, you can share the Older Kids Collection of Gospel Project for Kids and your Older Kids teachers will only see the Older Kids content for each weekly session.

Furthermore, churches can assign specific teachers to curriculum groups for tailored access, ensuring they receive only the resources relevant to their teaching group without central administrator intervention.

Admin View

In the Admin View, users can access all curriculum content, manage their subscriptions, and assign curriculum to different groups or individuals within the Ministry Grid platform. Admins hold responsibilities for granting and maintaining these access permissions.

Teacher or Leader View (non-Admin)

The Teacher or Leader View is designed to provide users access only to the curated curriculum shared by the Admin. Teachers can access their lesson plans and teaching materials directly without navigating administrative controls.
