- Recent activity — latest actions across the organization
Common Admin Tasks
1. Inviting Team Members
- Go to Settings > Team
- Click Invite Member
- Enter the person’s email and select their role (Admin, Manager, or Member)
- They receive an email invitation and complete onboarding upon acceptance
2. Setting Up a New Grant
- Add the funder via Grantors > New Grantor (if not already in the system)
- Add the opportunity to Pipeline (or discover it via Grant Discovery)
- When awarded, Convert to Active Grant from the pipeline
- Link the grant to new or existing Projects
- Set up Budget line items aligned with the grant agreement
- Upload the grant agreement to Document Brain and run the Compliance Policy Extractor
3. Configuring Compliance Policies
- Go to Compliance > Policies
- Click New Policy or use AI-Assisted Extraction from an uploaded grant agreement
- Define rules, scope (all projects or specific grants), and severity
- Activate the policy to begin enforcement
- Monitor violations on the Compliance Dashboard
4. Managing Billing

5. Granting Auditor Access
- Go to Compliance > Auditor Access
- Click Grant Access
- Enter the auditor’s email, set the access window (start and end dates), and select the scope
- The auditor receives an invitation email
What Admins Cannot Do
- SuperAdmin functions — platform-wide configuration, managing other organizations, subscription tier overrides
- Delete the organization — requires SuperAdmin intervention
- Access other organizations — Admins are scoped to their own organization (multi-tenancy isolation)
Best Practices
- Limit Admin count — 2–5 Admins per organization reduces risk and simplifies accountability
- Use Managers for day-to-day oversight — Admins should focus on configuration and policy, not daily task management
- Review audit logs weekly — catch unauthorized changes early
- Set up compliance policies before activity starts — retroactive enforcement is less effective
- Monitor AI credit usage — set alerts at 20% remaining to avoid service interruptions
- Document policy exceptions — if you override a policy or phase gate, record the reason
