On Makerble you have colleagues and contacts.
Contacts are usually beneficiaries - the people being helped
sometimes they might also be referral partners, signposting partners, funders.
Colleagues are staff and volunteers
By default, a contact is simply a record; a contact cannot login - unless you give them a Participant Pass.
Participant Passes are designed to ‘spark’ agency among your contacts so that they take action themselves to achieve the outcome that your organisation is trying to help them achieve.
Depending on the context of your work, it may or may not be appropriate to use Participant Passes to encourage your contacts to take action themselves.

Example 1 - Employment service
The organisation pays £4.95/app/user/month for each Colleague to use Makerble.
The organisation does not pay based on the number of Contacts who are registered on Makerble.
But if the organisation wants a young person to be able to login to Makerble in order to
journal their progress towards finding a job, e.g. posting updates about interviews secured, job applications made, courses they have attended, etc.
see the progress posted by other young people who are looking for a job
and see the updates logged by their Careers Advisor…
…the organisation could buy some a block of Participant Passes which would give each young person access to Makerble.
