Author: SportsPlus 1757 views

It is quite common that most of the times we may get confused between the roles of a team staff member and an organization staff member. As the team & organization are two separate areas, both staff members will enjoy the privilege of accessing different features of the application that are purely based on the type of roles they are assigned to.

In this article, we will be discussing the role of staff members at the team level and the organization level and also determine how they are different from one another.

Let us start with the team staff members and understand what roles they can perform in the team area.

A team staff member will have access only to the team area. Just being a team staff member does not automatically get any access to the organization area. However, a team staff member can also be an organization staff member in which case this person will have access to both areas. An organization staff member will have access to the team from the organization area.

Team Staff Member
A team can consist of players, parents, and staff members. You can add a new staff member by assigning him/her to any of the following roles.

  1. Coach
  2. Assistant Coach
  3. Team Manager
  4. Officer
  5. Team Staff

All the above roles will enjoy the same rights as the team admin, who will have the ability to manage the entire team and perform the following list of operations.

  • Manage team roster
  • Add/delete match/practice/events
  • Manage volunteers
  • Enter match scores in the team area
  • Update team information
  • Post team announcements
  • Upload team pictures
  • Manage team resources
  • Send communication messages
  • Track player availability & attendance
  • Manage team shop
  • Update team sponsors

Let us take the following example:
A1 is the coach of the XY football team. Now, A1 has added a new staff member A2 with the team manager role. The newly added team manager A2 will gain the same rights as A1 and can manage the entire XY team operations.

Organization Staff Member
An organization staff member can be assigned any of the following executive roles.

  1. Super Admin – holds the right to access and manage all the areas of the organization.
  2. Officer – holds all the rights except for the super admin area.
  3. Manager: Will have most of the rights. Please check the roles documentation in the staff members page for more specific details.
  4. Senior Clerk: Will have the majority of the rights. Please check the roles documentation in the staff members page for more specific details.
  5. Junior Clerk: Please check the roles documentation on the staff members page for more specific details.
  6. Staff: Will have limited access. Please check the roles documentation in the staff members page for more specific details.
  7. Coach/Coaching Staff/Board Member/Referee/Volunteer/Parent: These roles will not give any access to the organization. These will just identify the staff member by their functional role (Example: coach or a board member).

Let us take the following example:

M1 is the super admin of ABC organization. Now, M1 has added a new organization staff member M2 with the officer role. Now, M2 as an organization officer will get the access to the organization as an officer and can perform all operations that are allowed as an officer.
