​
Do I need the org chart?

Your situationUse it?
Members need to know who the leaders areYes — makes leadership visible and accessible
You have central + local leadership tiersYes — the chart shows both levels clearly
New members need orientation on structureYes — visual hierarchy is easier than a list
Your org has formal governance (board, council)Yes — document who holds each position
You’re a small, flat organizationOptional — a simple members list might be enough

​
How it works

Enable: Settings → Modules → Users → enable Has Organisation Chart Access: Members find it via Menu → Organisation Chart The chart is auto-generated from your roles and role assignments. When you assign a member to a role, they appear in the chart. When they leave the role, they disappear. No manual chart-building needed.

Common scenarios

Roles exist but no members are assigned to them. Go to member profiles and assign people to roles. The chart populates from role assignments, not from the chart settings.
Remove the old role assignment from the previous holder’s profile and add it to the new person. The chart updates automatically.
Set visibility to Public. The chart page can then be linked or embedded without requiring login.
Yes — role names, descriptions, display order, and color coding are all configurable in the role settings. The chart renders whatever you’ve configured.
Local Centers appear in the chart only if they have members assigned to leadership roles. Centers with no role assignments aren’t displayed.
