Groups & positions
Squads, committees and social groups - creating them, setting their roles and positions, and showing coloured badges on members.
Groups are how you organise people inside your club - a squad, the committee, a social section. They give structure to lineups, scheduling, scoped roles and the directory. You'll need to be an Admin, or have a role with Manage groups, to set them up.
Group types
Every group has a type, which determines what kind of roles and positions exist inside it:
- Squad - training groups (e.g. Men's Senior, Junior Development). These drive coaching, lineups and attendance.
- Committee - governance groups with positions like Chair, Secretary and Treasurer.
- Social - informal or interest groups (e.g. Alumni, Tourers) with no coaching machinery.
Create a group
Go to Manage → Groups and choose New group. Pick its type, give it a name, and optionally a colour for its badge.
Add members. You can also have a membership type auto-join people into a group - see Membership types & pricing.
Set the group's roles and positions (below) so members hold the right responsibilities.
Roles and positions
There are two ways a group confers permissions:
- Group-scoped roles - assign a role to someone within this group so their permissions only cover its members. This is how a squad captain manages just their squad.
- Positions - named seats in the group (e.g. Captain, Secretary). Attach a role to a position, and whoever holds it gains those permissions automatically. When the position changes hands, the permissions follow.
Positions are ideal for committee roles that rotate each year - set the permissions once on the position, and you only ever swap who holds it.
Badges
Give a group a colour and members of it can show a coloured badge in the directory and around the app. This makes squads and committee members easy to recognise at a glance.
Removing someone from a group also removes any group-scoped role they held through it. If a captain steps down, moving them out of the squad cleanly revokes their squad-only permissions.
Roles & permissions
The built-in roles, building your own custom roles, and scoping a role to a single squad so a captain manages their group and nothing else.
Membership types & pricing
Create membership types, set monthly, quarterly or annual prices, attach benefits, run approvals, and change a price without surprising existing members.
