Permissions and roles — who can do what

Every member has one permission level — administrator or member — which decides what they may do. On top of that, a member can hold one or more roles, such as leader or board member.

Administrators can do everything: manage members, change settings, handle payments and remove content. Members can see the association’s content, respond to events, chat and comment in the feed. Writing feed posts requires the administrator or leader role.

Each member has exactly one permission level. You change it from the member’s profile, or on several members at once through bulk editing in the member list.

Roles sit on top of the permission level and can be combined freely. The leader role grants the right to create events, post in the feed, invite members, manage attendance and see contact details — without making the person an administrator.

The board role marks who sits on the board and which position they hold. Sports clubs additionally have a participant role for those actively taking part.

What the leader role is called is up to you, in the settings — conductor, coach or director.

Tags are free labels you create yourself, such as Sponsor or Social committee. They grant no permissions at all — they exist so you can sort and filter the member list and target announcements.

Only administrators and leaders see other people’s phone numbers, email addresses and postal addresses. An ordinary member sees names and roles in the member list, but no contact details.

You always see your own details, and a guardian sees their child’s. The same boundary covers more sensitive fields such as gender and date of birth.

A guardian is not a permission level but a link between an adult and a child who is a member. The membership and the fee belong to the child; the guardian responds to events, pays and manages the details on the child’s behalf.
