ChMS Database New User Registration
Parishioners should NOT follow the instructions to access their Member Portals. Accessing their Member Portal requires following the steps detailed here: Invite Families - Member Portal.
Data security best practices dictate that users are given the least amount of access to data required to accomplish their tasks successfully. We recommend that users who do not need complete access to all data and functions should receive access to only the functions they require.
