The Organization tab in Admin Settings is where church administrators manage their team, communicate important updates, and monitor activity across all projects in Equip. These tools help you keep everyone informed, ensure the right people have access, and maintain visibility into how content work is progressing.
Note: Only Universal Admins and Owners can access Admin Settings. If you don’t see this option, ask your church’s Equip administrator for access.
System Announcements
System Announcements let you send important messages directly to your team inside Equip. Announcements appear in each recipient’s notification bell, making them ideal for time‑sensitive updates without relying on email or group messages.
You can use announcements to share:
- Schedule or sermon changes
- Content deadlines or freezes
- Platform updates or maintenance notices
- Reminders about upcoming events
Sending a System Announcement
To send an announcement:
- Go to Admin Settings, via the gear icon, and select the Organization tab
- Scroll to the System Announcements section
- Enter a clear Announcement Title
- Write your Message
- (Optional) Add a Link for more details
- Choose the Audience:
- Entire Organization
- Specific Ministry Areas
- Specific Users
- Click Send Announcement
Note: After sending, Equip confirms how many people received the announcement.
Real-World Example
It’s Wednesday afternoon, and the lead pastor updates Sunday’s sermon title and Scripture. An administrator sends a system announcement titled “Updated Sermon Info for This Sunday” to the entire organization. Within minutes, the worship team and communications team see the update in Equip and avoid creating content around the old topic.
User Management
The User Management section gives you a clear, read‑only view of everyone on your team. This helps you understand who has access to Equip and how actively it’s being used.
You can view:
- Each User’s name and email
- Their Role
- Their Status: whether they’re active or inactive
- When they were Last Active
Note: User accounts are managed through Amplify. This section shows information and provides a link to manage access there.
User Roles You’ll See
- Universal Admin: Full access to all Equip features and admin settings
- Owner: Organization owner with full admin access
- Admin: Module‑level admin access; treated as a regular member in Equip
- Member: Standard team member with assigned access
Managing Access Through Amplify
To add, remove, or change a user’s access:
- Click Open Amplify Settings at the top of the User Management section
- Make changes in your Amplify account
- Changes take effect the next time the person logs in
Real-World Example
Your church hires a new communications director. You add them in Amplify and assign access. When they log into Equip, they appear as an active member. Later, you notice a volunteer who no longer serves is still listed as active—you remove their access in Amplify, and their status updates automatically.
Activity Log
The Activity Log gives you visibility into what’s happening across all projects in your organization. It records meaningful actions and who performed them, helping with accountability and coordination.
Activities include:
- Content created, updated, or deleted
- AI‑generated content
- Assignments and status changes
- Project sharing and visibility changes
- Comments and tag updates
Filtering and Exporting Activity
You can narrow the Activity Log by:
- User
- Action type
- Date range
For reporting or meetings, you can export the filtered log as a CSV file by clicking the Export CSV button below the Activity Log.
Note: Each activity entry links directly to the related project, making it easy to jump from the log to the work itself.
Real-World Example
Before a weekly staff meeting, an administrator reviews the Activity Log from the previous week. They see who generated content, what was moved to review, and which projects were updated. The log is exported and shared with the team, giving everyone a clear snapshot of progress without the need for verbal updates.
