# People and roles

Canonical: https://rufiostats.com/help/people-and-roles

Invite helpers, players, and fans, and control what each of them can do.

## The roles

| Role | What they do |
| --- | --- |
| Club admin | Runs the club: teams, people, and settings across the whole organization. |
| Owner | Owns the team's account and settings. Holds the Statkeeper title unless they hand it to a Helper. |
| Statkeeper | One per team. Starts live games, settles merge questions, and approves helper drafts. |
| Helper | Enters stats for a game the Statkeeper opens or that is live. Can be given full access to create and track their own games. |
| Player | On the roster. Sees the team's stats and their own detail. Read-only. |
| Follower | Watches games and stats. Read-only. Anyone can follow a public team; private teams need an invite. |

**One Statkeeper at a time**

Moving the title to someone else turns the previous holder into a Helper. They keep stat entry, but no longer start team games or host live stat tracking.

## The Manage screen

Open the team page (gear next to the team name) and tap **Manage**. Only the Owner and Statkeeper can open it.

- Change someone's role with the dropdown on their row. Ownership is not a dropdown option; it moves only by transfer.
- The sliders icon on a Helper row opens **Helper permissions**.
- The badge icon on a Player or Follower row links them to a spot on the roster, so their account shows the right stats.
- The person-minus icon removes someone from the team.

## Helper permissions

A new Helper can enter stats and track live games, and nothing else. Two presets cover most cases: **Stats only** and **Full access**. Full access lets a Helper create and track their own games and edit the roster, like a Statkeeper. Only starting a live broadcast stays with the Statkeeper.

Pick a preset, or check individual permissions.

Without full access, a Helper who starts a match from their own device tracks a **draft** instead of a team game. See [Drafts and merging](https://rufiostats.com/help/drafts-and-merging).

## Inviting people

1. On the Manage screen, scroll to **Invite people**.
2. Pick a **Role**. For a Helper, switch on **Full access** if they should create their own games.
3. For a Player invite, pick **Which player is this?** so the account links to the right roster spot. For a Follower you can optionally pick a player they follow.
4. Add an email to send the invite automatically, or leave it blank and share it yourself.
5. Tap **Create invite**.

Left to right: choosing the role, the finished invite card, and the copy prompt (code or link).

Each invite has a code (like `INV-SUV78E`) and a link. When you tap copy or share, the app asks which one you want:

- **Code**: quicker if they already have the app. They paste it into **Setup** or **Join a team with a code**.
- **Link**: better if they still need to install the app. It opens a page that shows the team and role, then takes them into the app.
- **QR code**: shows the link as a QR code for people standing next to you.

Invites can be revoked from the same card. Revoking does not remove anyone who already joined.

## Joining a team

If you got a link, open it. You will see the team name and the role you are joining as, then **Join** (or **Sign in & join**).

If you got a code, open the menu and tap **Setup**, then **I was invited to a team**, and enter the code. The same option is in **Settings** under **Join a team with a code**. Codes start with `INV-`.

A code that does not start with INV- is not an invite. To watch a public team you do not need a code at all: tap **Find a team to follow** in the menu.

## What members and the public can see

On the team page under **Stat visibility**, the Owner sets two levels: what **Team members see** (players, helpers, statkeepers) and what the **Public sees**. Each can be **Everything**, **Standard** (box scores, no court or rotation detail), or **Basic** (scores and schedule only).

- **Public team page**: anyone with the link can view, no account needed. Off means members only.
- **List in public directory**: lets people find the team by searching. Your link works either way.
