User roles

The user’s permissions on the platform are based on the role(s) they have been assigned with. Every user can have as many roles as needed. For instance, a user can have a school staff role (like Admin, Manager or Teacher/Coach) and at the same time have a Parent role within the same or another school. If their school is also taking part in the tournaments supported by Squad in Touch they can also have a Tournament Follower role to get live updates on the day of the tournament.

Switching between the roles is performed via the drop down menu available on every page of the web interface – it can be found in the top panel where your school name and role is and from the main menu when using the mobile app.




The description of the roles used across the platform and their permissions is provided in the table below:
