Organisations in Movement

In Movement both users and members are assigned set of organisations within your organisational structure, for example their branch and region. This allows you to target and manage your communications and campaigns at all levels of your organisation within Movement.

In Movement "organisation" means something a little more detailed than the broad organisation - it refers set of smaller parts within the overarching organisation. For trade unions, this typically looks like: National > Regions > Branches > Employers. The organisational structure must be hierarchical but there may be more than one branch in the hierarchy.

So, for this example, each region is an organisation that sits below the national organisation, every branch is an organisation that sits below the region and each employer is an organisation that sits below the branch. A member will be assigned to their specific employer, branch and region and so will be a member of all of these organisations.

Campaign targeting

Organisations allow you to target campaigns strategically and accurately. You can run campaigns within any organisation - running a national campaign will include everyone, a regional campaign only those in that region and so on. You can also localise national phone bank and peer to peer campaigns by using 'match by organisation' so that volunteers can only call or reply to people in their region, branch or any other organisation.

Volunteers

For volunteers the organisation they are assigned will determine how they are matched if 'match by organisation' is turned on and which campaigns they can take part in. National volunteers will have access to campaigns across the platform, while regional volunteers will have access to the campaigns in their region as well as campaigns in the branches and workplaces in their region.

Find out more about how user groups can be used to change access across organisations.

Admins

Co-ordinator and admin users have admin permissions within their organisation and the organisations below them in the hierarchy. So, a national co-ordinator or admin will have admin permissions across the platform. Regional co-ordinators or admins will have admin permissions for campaigns within their region but won't have admin access to manage national campaigns.
