Member Directory

Most communities keep their member list in a spreadsheet nobody can find and nobody quite trusts. This template replaces it with a directory that is public by default, searchable from a single box, and editable only by the people you let sign in.

What you get

• A searchable member grid on the homepage — one search box across names, roles, companies, bios and skills, plus one-click filters for role and tag, built from whatever your members actually enter.
• A profile page per member at a stable, shareable URL: initial avatar, role and company, full bio, tags, and working email and website links.
• A manage screen for editors — add a member, edit any field, remove someone who has moved on. It only appears in the navigation once you are signed in.

Public to browse, protected to change

End-user sign-in ships switched on: email and password, magic link, and Continue with Google. Reading the member list is public, so visitors and search engines see the directory without an account. Every write is checked on the server, so an anonymous visitor cannot add or alter a member even by calling the data layer directly — you do not have to write a single permission check yourself.

Where it fits

Association and chamber member lists, alumni networks, coworking and community directories, freelancer collectives, partner and vendor listings, and internal who-does-what pages for a growing team.

A fresh clone starts empty: sign in, add your first member from the manage screen, and the role and tag chips appear on their own as soon as members carry roles and tags. Rename the fields or add your own, such as location, languages or day rate, and the grid, profile and manage screens follow.
