Admin Permissions Explained

The Match Official role is the most limited access level and is intended for referees, umpires, or scorekeepers whose primary responsibility is recording what happens during a match. This role provides access only to their assigned scorecards.

Match Officials can enter match events and submit the completed scorecard, but they cannot modify any match details such as teams, dates, or start times. They also do not have permission to approve, accept, or restart scorecards once they have been submitted.

This limited access ensures that officials can focus on accurate scorekeeping while preserving administrative control and data integrity for the league or tournament.

For a deeper look at how scorekeepers can be assigned and managed, including different access models and workflows, see the Match Officials Guide.

The League Admin role is responsible for managing the competitive side of a league or tournament. This role includes all responsibilities of a Match Official, with expanded access to configure and maintain the structure and flow of play.

League Admins have full read and write access to competition-related data within the league. This includes managing seasons, divisions, teams, players, matches, and other structures that define how games are organized and played.

League Admins are also responsible for scorecard oversight. They can review, edit, approve, and accept scorecards submitted by Match Officials, ensuring results are accurate before they are reflected in standings, leaderboards, and playoff progression.

The League Manager role builds on the responsibilities of a League Admin and provides full control over how the league operates day to day. This role is intended for the primary organizers responsible for setup, configuration, and overall league management.

League Managers have broad access to all league-level features and settings. This includes configuring league options, managing payments, running drafts, posting announcements, and maintaining the code of conduct, along with other tools required to operate the league smoothly from start to finish.

While League Managers have broad authority within a league, there are intentional limits in place. They cannot change the roles of other admins, manage organizations, or delete the league itself. These restrictions help preserve ownership boundaries and prevent accidental or unauthorized changes at the highest level.

The League Owner is the highest level of access within a league and represents the original creator and ultimate authority for that league. There can only be one League Owner at any given time.

In addition to all League Manager responsibilities, the League Owner has exclusive control over ownership-level actions. This includes changing admin roles, managing the organization associated with the league, and deleting the league if necessary.

League ownership can be transferred to another admin when needed. This allows organizations to maintain continuity if responsibilities change, while ensuring that critical permissions remain clearly defined and securely managed.

Assigning admin roles thoughtfully helps keep your league organized, secure, and easy to manage. Clear responsibilities reduce mistakes, prevent overlap, and make it easier for everyone involved to understand their scope of authority.

Match Officials should focus on scorekeeping, League Admins on competition operations, and League Managers on configuration and communication. Ownership level access should be reserved for the person ultimately responsible for the league.

As your league grows, review admin roles periodically to ensure they still align with how people are contributing. Adjusting access over time helps maintain clarity and protects against accidental changes to critical settings.

Admin roles can be updated at any time by a League Owner. This allows you to adjust access as responsibilities change throughout the season.
