A role decides what somebody sees and what they can post. When a person takes on a job in the club — or stops doing it — this is the one place you change it.
Available to owners and admins.
Change it
- Open the club from the navigation drawer.
- In the Manage members section, tap See all.
- Find the person. Search filters as you type, and the chip row filters by role or down to pending requests.
- Tap their row.
- Pick the new role.
- If you chose child member, pick the parent — a child account must be linked to another member of the club, and Save stays disabled until you have chosen one.
- Adjust their groups with the chips if the new role changes which teams they belong to.
- Tap Save.
You can also reach a specific member directly by tapping their avatar in the Manage members row on the club home screen.
The six roles
| Role | What it is for |
|---|---|
| Owner | Runs the club. Cannot be edited by anybody, including another owner. |
| Admin | The same permissions as an owner in practice. |
| Staff | Helps out: can post information and practice entries. |
| Trainer | Coaches groups, logs their own earnings, posts training entries. |
| Member | The default. Posts practice entries, joins public groups. |
| Child member | Reads and belongs to groups. Cannot post. Needs a parent. |
Who you cannot edit
Two guards, and they are deliberate:
- You cannot edit yourself. Not your role, your status or your groups.
- You cannot edit an owner. In practice an owner’s role cannot be changed through this screen by anyone, including themselves, because there is no ownership-transfer flow.
Both cases disable the whole form rather than just the Save button, so it is clear before you start typing.
Ending a membership
There are two different things here and they are not interchangeable:
- Setting the status to rejected leaves the membership record in place. They lose access, but they also cannot re-apply.
- Remove from Club deletes the membership. It clears their trainer assignments and any message addressed to them; posts they wrote stay, because the club’s history is a shared record. They get told, and their session ends straight away — the next thing their app does is send them back to the sign-in screen. It signs them out of the app entirely, not just out of your club.
Remove is only offered where it is actually allowed: you must be an owner or admin, and the target can be neither the club’s owner nor you.
After you save
Your own screen updates at once. Theirs may not. A member’s role and groups travel inside their sign-in token, so their phone keeps the old copy until it fetches a new one. They can pull to refresh on the club home screen, or tap Sync account. Nothing is broken — it has just not caught up.
