Ever wished you could clone yourself to keep up with all your commitments? We get that sentiment at SignUpGenius, and we're here to help you — minus the messy gene splicing.

Plan your school, church, business, sports and group events more easily by assigning multiple administrators to your premium account.

Our Multiple Admin tool allows you to organize your PTA fundraisers and events in a snap by giving different people in your committee custom levels of permission. For instance, you can allow certain people to create and manage sign ups on your account, while others can view reports or simply monitor if slots are being filled for your big BINGO night.

To get started, log in, and click on the "Tools" button from your main account page (on the left side of the page). From there, select the "Manage Admins" button.

Select the orange "Add Custom Role" button, and you'll be on your way to adding helpers and defining their roles.

From there, you can designate a name for the role and select from a menu of options that will allow you to decide if a person can create sign ups, manage sign ups, manage GeniusDrive files, iCal Feeds or Custom Themes.

You can even drill down further by assigning permissions to specific sign ups and determining if a subadmin can edit a sign up, send messages, view data and more.

Some other ways you can use this tool:

  • Booster Club: Assign coaches or team parents different permissions from one premium account to create and manage sign ups for the sports season.
  • Class Parent: Let room representatives and teachers manage sign ups in the same account, so they know everything that's going on in the classroom.
  • Company Account: Give different managers and departments the ability to manage sign ups from one business account.
  • Church Ministries: Equip different ministries (church choir, Sunday School, etc.) with different admins who manage their own sign ups.

Genius! Who says there can't be more than one of you?

Just a note to say how much I love SignUpGenius. I'm coaching a team from Team-in-Training that is fundraising and training to ride 100 miles around Lake Tahoe to benefit The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. We have weekly training rides that need volunteer support and a need to get RSVPs from the cyclists so I know who will show up at team rides. Using SignUpGenius, I have ride support volunteers for almost all our rides through early May. This has been like pulling teeth in the past. It was so simple to set up and send out and easy for the volunteers to sign up.
