Here are the main points of this document:

  • Purpose: This document provides guidance for Byga Club Admins on configuring general club settings, including basic information, logos, roles, notifications, email settings, custom fields, and payment options.

    • Basic Settings
    • Logos

  • Roles (Section 1.3): Defines and manages roles and permissions within the club, consisting of two parts:
    • User Roles & Groups (Section 1.3.1):
      • Includes standard Byga roles (e.g., All users, Byga Support, Coaches, Commissioner, DOC, Managers, Registrar) and club-defined roles.
      • Permissions in this section are universal (not specific to a user's resources).
      • Club-wide Group/Role Settings (Section 1.3.1.1): Define name, description, staff inheritance, and who can message the group. New controls allow disabling event creation and messaging by team admins. Commissioners can disable other commissioners.
      • Team Group/Role Settings (Section 1.3.1.1): Similar settings to Club-wide, but messaging permissions are different. New controls allow disabling event creation and group messaging.

    • Scoped Roles (Section 1.3.2):
      • Byga predefined roles that define permissions relative to a user's associated resources (e.g., a coach's own team).
