Role-Based Permissions

Customized Permissions for your Roles

You can assign customized administrative permissions to each role, which can provide access to separate admin sections of your site. Any users assigned to that role will inherit the administrative permissions defined in that role.

It's a powerful, flexible and simple system for defining fine-grained permissions on a role-by-role basis.

Accessing Role Permissions

Role Administrative Permissions are managed from within each Role found under the Roles tab in the Manage Team console.

Permission Levels

>>Tip: We highly suggest limiting the number of administrators assigned to Roles with "All administrative permissions". This will give you more control over who has the ability to make changes that could affect your parents/athletes. We do not provide logs that would tell you who made changes, so keep this in mind when you make these decisions. In most cases, other admins may only need to access particular areas such as People, Registration, Meets/Events, or Reporting. You can grant partial privileges based on a role as noted below.

With Some administrative permissions selected, a role can be granted Read or Manage permissions for a dozen categories such as Registrations, Meet Entries or Website.

• With Read access, a user will be able to find and view data and run reports in that category but will be unable to make any changes.
• With Manage access, the user can add data, make edits and delete data.
• If the access in a given category is None, that category of information won't show up at all.

For example, a board role such as Treasurer might need Manage access to People, Registrations and Organizational Settings to access the payment processor setup (as shown below):

>>Note: Some permissions will only display to Premium customers such as Calendar Events, Jobs, Blog Posts, Sponsorships and Merchandise Orders (pertains to Online Store orders, not orders during registration)

>>Tip: Hovering over the information icon (?) will provide guidance on what is accessible for each option. If unsure based on descriptions, you could create a test Parent account with another email to see what access you have with specific permissions set. Feel free to contact your friendly Customer Happiness Team for assistance as needed.

Permission Details:

• Both "Manage Schedule" or "Manage Swim Meets" allow for Season configurations.
• Under Schedule, you can separate who has access to manage "Swim Meets" and non-meet "Calendar Events" PREMIUM
• "Blog Posts" are your News Posts found under Website PREMIUM
• "Organization Settings" controls access to the "Settings" link found at the top of the screen ➞ See our SwimTopia Site-wide Settings article for details.

Permissions Indicators - Keys and Crowns

Once you assign permissions to a role and assign roles to a user, you likely want to be able to see at a glance which users have what permissions in the system. To provide that quick visibility you'll see icons displayed within the role tags.

 A crown icon indicates the role/user has full admin access.

 A key icon indicates the role/user has some permissions.

Hovering over the role tag when on the People screen will show a summary of categories in which the role/user has read or manage permissions.

When necessary, a Read Only access reminder is shown to the user.
