Administrator is the only permission in Publishing, and it has access to all Publishing features. All organization administrators are Publishing administrators by default and can add others to that role.

Giving people access to Planning Center depends on their role at your church. Staff and background-checked leaders may have enough trust to access people's information, whether to edit or view, but people outside of that trusted circle should be given lower permissions.
This table outlines who can access people's contact information based on their permissions in another product.

When you change someone's permissions in Planning Center, they may receive a notification, depending on the type of change.
When someone who has never logged into your organization is granted access to Planning Center, they receive an email notification.
The email welcomes them and lists all of the products they've been given access to, their permission levels in those products, and explains how to log in.
When an existing person's permission levels or product access are removed or downgraded, they don't receive an email notification unless any change is made to an organization administrator, then all other organization administrators are notified.
If a person's permissions are upgraded in one product and downgraded in another, their notification email will show their new downgraded permission in the second product. However, there will be no indication that it was changed.
