The Voluntarily Organisation

Every new person added to the database gets added to the Voluntarily organisation automatically. This confers a couple of abilities without which the person will be a bit hamstrung, so it makes sense to have it in place before you start adding people to your local environment. In particular, the organisation is both an opportunity provider and a volunteer provider. Being a part of it will allow your person to ask for help and offer to help. Otherwise they’ll get permission errors when trying to create opportunities.

The organisation could be created via the Mongo shell like so:

db.organisations.insert({
  "imgUrl":"https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/live.voluntarily.nz.images/1584929770643-vvvv200_full.png",
  "role":["vp","op"],
  "groups":["business","school","community","personal"],
  "name":"Voluntarily"
});

Create a System Administrator

We recommend using mailinator.com as a way to validate and check public emails, but you can also use any service you have access to with multiple inboxes. If you use Gmail another way to get multiple emails is to follow your usual email with +name e.g watkinsav+vp1@gmail.com. This might be easier but might also pollute your inbox.

You don’t need a login for mailinator - just enter the email address you’d like an inbox for.

You don’t need everyone straight away but it's quick to do. If you use Gmail another way to get multiple emails is to follow your usual email with +name e.g watkinsav+vp1@gmail.com. This might be easier but might also pollute your inbox.
