# Member Portal Overview

> Token-based member self-service — profile, family, events, serving, and prayer.

The **Member Portal** gives congregation members a lightweight, mobile-friendly space to update their profile, see family connections, register for events, view serving assignments, and submit prayer requests — without a full staff login.

## Quick Start

1. Enable the portal under **Settings → Portal** (admins only).
2. Approve a **Visitor Registration** or create a member record in AdoraCare.
3. Issue an **access token** (90-day link) from registration approval or admin workflow.
4. Send the member `https://your-church.adoraplan.com/portal/login?token=…`.
5. Members land on **Profile** and use the sidebar for Family, Events, Serving, and Prayer.

## How-to Guide

### How login works

Portal auth is **token-based**, not email/password:

| Step | What happens                                                   |
| ---- | -------------------------------------------------------------- |
| 1    | Member opens the link or pastes their token on `/portal/login` |
| 2    | `portal-auth` edge function validates the token                |
| 3    | Session stores the token in browser `sessionStorage`           |
| 4    | Member navigates portal pages until the token expires          |

<Tip>
  Tokens expire after **90 days**. Re-issue a fresh link from **Care → Portal Registrations** or your approval workflow.
</Tip>

### Portal navigation

After login, members see a focused layout (no staff sidebar):

| Page          | Route                     | Purpose                                      |
| ------------- | ------------------------- | -------------------------------------------- |
| **Profile**   | `/portal`                 | Update contact info and directory visibility |
| **Family**    | `/portal/family`          | View household relationships                 |
| **Events**    | `/portal/events`          | Browse and register for upcoming events      |
| **Serving**   | `/portal/serving`         | See roster assignments and status            |
| **Prayer**    | `/portal/prayer-requests` | Submit and track prayer requests             |
| **Directory** | `/portal/directory`       | Opt-in member directory (when enabled)       |

### Enable features per tenant

Admins control which modules appear under **Settings → Portal**:

* Master **Enable portal** toggle
* Per-feature switches (Family, Events, Serving, Prayer, Directory)
* **Directory fields** — which contact fields other members may see

See [Portal — Security](/en/adoracare/portal-security) for privacy and token guidance.
