The PAGB delivers on-line services via its Management/Entries system, commonly referred to as the Central Management System: abbreviated ‘CMS’. Access to PAGB events and services is only granted to Federation officers, to affiliated Club officers and to the members of those Clubs. Key to that is managing personal accounts in CMS and their status.

Frequently Asked Questions (+)
..Who can have a CMS account?
Anyone can have a CMS account.
..Do I need a CMS account?
You only need a CMS account if you wish to access PAGB on-line services, which are reserved for PAGB member Federations, the member Clubs of those Federations and the members of those Clubs.
An account can then be approved at one or more levels of Club member, Club officer or Federation officer so as to receive services reserved for each of those levels.
Separately, an account can offer activities for inclusion in the Speakers’ Register.
..How does my CMS account get approved?
As far as possible, approval is devolved so that it can be given by somebody who knows you.
..A Club officer can approve Club members.
..A Club officer can approve other officers in the same Club.
..A Federation officer can approve other officers in the same Federation.
We recommend and encourage creation of officer accounts with sufficient permission to do these. Meanwhile, system managers can approve accounts but only if they can find independent confirmation such as names being listed on a Club or Federation website.
..How can I buy a ticket for a PAGB event?
Tickets for the two Club Championship events can be bought via your CMS account.
Tickets for the InterFederation Competition and for Awards for Photographic Merit (APM) sessions are only available via the hosting Federation.
..How can I book a speaker for my Club?
Your CMS account must have either Club officer or Federation officer approval in order to see speakers’ contact details and make contact. This is the same confidentiality restriction as previously applied to the printed PAGB Handbook.
To obtain approval as a Club or Federation officer, use the Registrations menu to make your request and await approval.
..How can I obtain a Recorded Lecture?
Your CMS account must have either Club officer or Federation officer approval in order to buy a licence and subsequently download a Recorded Lecture. The licence is then the property of the Club or Federation respectively.
To obtain approval as a Club or Federation officer, use the Registrations menu to make your request and await approval.
..How can I list my lecture in the speakers register?
Recruitment and training of Speakers is done by Federations.
If you would like to offer an Activity for the Register, first discuss this with your Home Federation, which is either the Federation of your Club or, if you are not a Club member, the Federation of your residence.
