Appendix D. Kavi Members Default Types
These tables include all the types installed by Kavi Members
by default. Types that are required by the application cannot be deleted, but they can
be edited.
Note that these tables include the Kavi® Members default
types only, and do not include types installed by default by
other applications.
For default types installed by other applications:
To see all roles, including custom roles as well as those
installed by default, Super Admins can use the Kavi Members
Manage Roles Tool.
These types are used to classify companies. There is only
one default Company Type, but if the organization offers
memberships to companies, it will have a set
of custom Company Types that correspond to the Company Membership
Types it offers. If a company is assigned a Company Type that has any roles associated with
it, these roles will be
inherited by every user who belongs that company.

General |
Used to confer access to Member areas of a site that
are accessible only to logged-in users. This Company Type is
used as a base for types that correspond to Company
Membership Types. The name is
usually edited to indicate the name of the corresponding
Membership Type. If assigned to a
company, every user who belongs to the company is automatically granted
the 'member' role. It can also be repurposed for types to
assign to nonmember companies that require Members
access, such as staff companies. |

Company Administration and Contact Types
These types are assigned to member company
representatives. They are used to classify company representatives by the way in which they
represent their company to the organization. Company Administration and Contact Types can confer
administrator or editor privileges, but the scope of these
privileges is limited to company tools and data.
By contrast, User Types classify users by their
relationship to the organization. They may confer roles that
grant administrator
or editor privileges that apply to all areas of the
organization's Web site.

User Types are used to classify users according to their
relationship to the organization. They commonly confer roles that
grant access privileges. There are several
default User Types. If the organization offers
memberships to individuals, it should also have a set
of custom User Types that correspond to the Individual Membership
Types it offers.
Company Administration and Contact Types,
which are used to classify users by the way they
represent their company to the organization, may also confer
administrator or editor privileges, but the scope of these
privileges is limited to company tools and data, whereas administrator
or editor User
Types may grant privileges to all areas of the organization's Web site.
