When working with MSP, there are three distinct levels of involvement with the program:
1) Volunteers
2) Ministry Leaders*
3) Admins
The first is for the volunteers or ministers who are being scheduled by the software, and the next two levels are for administrators or leaders who will be working to manage the volunteers. Being an admin requires having a downloaded copy of MSP licensed to their machine, counting as one of your installations to the license, while a Ministry Leader is essentially a volunteer with elevated, web-based access to the schedules - a Ministry Leader does not count against your allowed number of installations for the license.
Below are the key differences between an Admin and a Ministry Leader, to help you decide which level of access you need to give someone:
