INTRODUCTION
Backdrop 1.x Maintainer: jayelless (James Scott).
This module has been converted from Drupal 7.x to Backdrop 1.x
by jayelless (James Scott) in July 2021.
The Membership Entity module provides a separation between memberships and
individual user accounts. This provides several advantages for managing
membership sites.
- Memberships are fieldable separately from users.
- X number of users may belong to a single membership. (eg. Primary and
secondary members) - When a membership is activated all users attached to the membership are
given the active role. - When a membership expires all users attached to the membership are given
the expired role. - Keeps track of membership terms.
- Can be integrated with contrib module Rules to provide additional
functionality.

DESIGN DECISIONS
This module does not create any roles upon installation. This requires site
administrators to create roles that will be used for active memberships. Active
primary and secondary member roles may be set on per membership type basis.
CONTRIBUTIONS AND FEATURE REQUESTS
Issues and feature requests should be reported at
https://backdropcms.org/project/membership_entity.
Issues will be reviewed as quickly as is reasonable with the understanding that
the maintainers have personal and professional responsibilities outside of this
module.
Feature requests will generally only be developed as the need arises for
paying clients. However, if you write a feature and submit a patch it will
gladly be considered for inclusion in the module.
