alphanumeric characters (i.e. letters and numbers) however it cannot contain only numbers. IDs are unique throughout the system, so you cannot create an ID that is already in use.

Examples of valid IDs: mylogin, mylogin1, my1login, 1mylogin
Examples of invalid IDs: myl, 1234, 123456

Note that when logging in, the ID is not case-sensitive, however the password is case-sensitive.

Roles of admin users

Image Added

SITE MANAGERHigher level website and competition related maintenance which is typically related to 'setup' or 'configuration' tasks
USER MANAGER
  • Access to create and maintain other users. Warning - any user who has this role can effectively then grant themself any other role.
CONTENT MANAGER 
  • Website content related maintenance (e.g. create and maintain Html content, home page, News, Events, Slideshow Galleries).
RESULTS MANAGER
  • Competition results related maintenance (e.g. clubs: results and scores update, associations: match confirmation, exception reports etc).
PERSON MANAGER
  • Creation, editing, deleting of person records - eg Players, Contacts, Umpires and tasks related to person records.
EMAIL SENDER
  • Sending of email messages (exception: SITE MANAGER can also send Fantasy League messages).
SMS SENDER
  • Sending of SMS messages
  • Ordering SMS credits
FINANCIAL MANAGER
  • Access to tasks relating to financial information - e.g payments/subscriptions made by players or other people in the system.
  • Additional 'special' roles that are not available in all cases:
SYSTEM ADMIN
  • Access to high level system administration.
ADMINISTER CHILD
  • A user within a organisation which manages competitions between other 'child' organisations to 'administer' a child organisation without requiring a separate login to that organisation. 
    For example, an association user with the role can 'administer' one of its participating clubs directly (from the dropdown list on the administration home page). See below for more more 
    information about administering child organisations.
Note
    1. Each role is independent of each other - a "super user" (ie a user able to do anything) should be a member of all the above roles. It is highly recommended that each 
      organisation has at least two such users, so that if one user locks themself out, the other can reset the account.
    2. If a user attempts to access a screen without being a member of the appropriate Role, they will be redirected to a 'No Access' screen.
    3. Setting a user to be the 'Principal User' automatically assigns all user roles to the user.

 

 

Grade Access for Admin Users

Image Added

By default, a user has access to all grades that are relevant to their organisation. This can be restricted as follows:

...

  • A club restricting a user to a single grade so that he/she can only enter results for that grade (e.g. 'team managers')
  • An association restricting a user to a single grade so that he/she can only review/lock results for that grade

Image Removed 

Person Role Access

By default, a user has access to all person records within their organisation irrespective of the Person Roles (eg PLAYER, CONTACT) the the person record has. This can be restricted as follows:

  1. Click the Select Person Roles radio button
  2. Select one or more Person Roles from the Available Person Roles box
    Note: it is possible to select ALL roles of a particular type, or specific sub-roles. For example, ALL PLAYER ROLES will allow sub roles such as PLAYER:SENIOR, PLAYER:JUNIOR. If both ALL PLAYER ROLES and (e.g.) PLAYER:SENIOR was selected, then ALL PLAYER ROLES would take precedence. NO ROLES should be selected where the user requires access to records with NO ROLES (eg past players).
  3. Click the Add button


Image RemovedImage Added

A user which has restricted Person Roles assigned will not be able to access any person record for editing or viewing which does not hold at least one of their allowed roles. These records would also have personal information obscured in any person list for that user.
