Admin guide

Members & roles

Invite members, assign roles, suspend accounts, and review the audit log.

Manage who belongs to your club, and what they can do, under Admin → Members.

Inviting members

Invite people by email address. Zeil sends them an invitation link; when they accept and sign in with that address, they become a member. You choose their role when you invite (you can change it later).

See the member's side of this in Joining a club.

Roles

RoleCan do
MemberBook sails, join and organize crews, read announcements, manage their own profile and credentials.
AdminEverything a member can, plus manage the fleet, certifications, endorsements, availability, members, announcements, and settings.

Promote a trusted member to admin when you want help running the club; demote back to member at any time. For the full breakdown, see Roles & permissions.

Membership status

A membership can be in one of these states:

StatusMeaning
ActiveA full member in good standing.
PendingInvited but not yet accepted.
SuspendedTemporarily blocked from the club without being removed.
InactiveNo longer participating.

Suspend a member to pause their access (for example, while a membership lapses) without losing their history. Reactivate them when they're back.

The member directory

Members can find each other in the directory to crew up. A member's discoverable status controls whether they appear there — useful for members who'd rather not be cold-invited.

Audit log

Sensitive actions — role changes, suspensions, invitations, and the like — are recorded in the audit log (Admin → Audit). Use it to see who changed what and when. It's your accountability trail when more than one admin shares the work.

Be deliberate with admin and suspend

Granting admin hands over control of the whole club. Suspending blocks access immediately. Both are reversible, but both are felt right away — the audit log is there to keep everyone honest about who did what.
