Staff and roles

Add admins, scorekeepers, coaches and viewers, understand what each role can do, change or remove access, and require two-step verification.

Updated · In the admin: Staff

Everyone who signs in to the admin is a staff member with a role. Manage › Staff is where owners and admins add people, change roles and remove access.

Roles

RoleCan do
OwnerEverything, including Stripe, billing and adding other owners
AdminEverything except billing and adding owners
ScorekeeperGame days, the schedule and score sheets
CoachRead-only access to the admin dashboard
ViewerCan see an unpublished site

Give scorekeepers the scorekeeper role rather than admin: they see only the three screens they need, and they cannot change teams, pages or payments by accident.

Add someone

  1. Under Add staff, enter their Email and pick a Role.
  2. Press add. They get a Staff added email with a sign-in link.
  3. They sign in with their email (a code or a link) and are added with that role on the first sign-in. Nothing to share: no password, no invite code.
  4. Until they sign in, they are listed under Waiting to sign in, where Revoke cancels the invite.

Only an owner can add another owner.

Change a role or remove someone

The staff list shows each person's email, role and last sign-in. Change switches their role; Remove takes away their access at once. Keep at least two owners so a lost phone or a holiday never locks the league out.

Two-step verification

Every staff member can turn on two-step verification under Your account › Security: a code from an authenticator app on top of the email sign-in, with backup codes for a lost phone. Recommended for owners and admins.

To make it mandatory, tick Require two-step verification for owners and admins under Theme & settings. Owners and admins without an authenticator are sent to set one up before the admin opens.

Your own account

Your account › Security shows who you are signed in as, lets you set or change a password, and manages the authenticator. Sign out is at the bottom of the admin menu.

Questions

Does a new staff member need a password?

No. They sign in with a code or link sent to their email and are added with their role on the first sign-in. They can set a password afterwards under Your account › Security if they like.

Can a coach edit their own roster?

Not yet. The coach role is read-only access to the admin dashboard. Rosters are edited by owners and admins; roster tools for coaches are planned.

I lost my authenticator. How do I get in?

Sign in with one of the ten backup codes shown when two-step verification was set up; each one works once. Then remove the old authenticator under Your account › Security and set up a new one.
