Give A Little Launches Custom User Permissions

At Give A Little, we’re constantly listening to feedback from our community of over 10,500 charities. One of the most requested features has now arrived: Custom User Permissions. This update gives fundraising teams, volunteers, and finance departments more flexibility, security, and control when managing their Give A Little Account and devices.

Why Custom User Permissions Matter for Charities

For many charities, fundraising is a team effort. Designers create campaigns, finance teams manage Gift Aid reporting, volunteers use devices, and administrators oversee the whole process. 

With Give A Little’s new

Custom User Permissions
, admins can now tailor exactly what each team member or volunteer  can access. This ensures smoother workflows, improved data security, and greater confidence in your cashless fundraising.

What’s New in Give A Little’s User Permissions

When you log into your Give A Little admin account and head to

‘Account’
and then
‘Users’
, you’ll now see a new
‘Custom’
option. This allows you to set granular permissions for every user.

Here’s a breakdown of the new user permission levels:

  • Reports
    – Access reporting data, including campaign performance and supporter details.

  • Campaigns
    – Create, edit, publish and delete fundraising campaigns.

  • Donors
    – Manage donor data and preferences.

  • Devices
    – Register, lock/unlock devices, and assign campaigns.

Better still, admins can

update permissions at any time
, even after a user has been invited.

What the Give A Little community is saying

Steve Johnson,

Living Generously Advisor, Derby
, shared his feedback:

“Just to say really well done on adding the Custom User Permissions facility in Give A Little. This is superb and goes well beyond expectations. Your hard work paid off and it’s now very Gift Aid friendly in terms of offering support to a church needing guidance with contactless without being intrusive. Brilliant work, well done.”

This response shows how our new Custom User Permissions aren’t just about convenience—they also support compliance, stewardship, and donor confidence.
