Managing Staff

The Staff page allows team managers to manage their coaching and support staff by adding, editing, and removing staff members such as coaches, physiotherapists, and team managers. This feature is only available for tournaments using the "Teams & Players" mode.

Accessing Staff

1. Log into the Team Panel
2. Click Staff in the sidebar navigation

Note: This page only appears if the tournament is configured to track individual players within teams.

The page header shows:

• Current number of staff members on the team

2. Click the Edit icon (pencil) in the Actions column
3. Update the staff member's information
4. Click Save to apply changes

Removing Staff Members

When staff management is enabled:

Staff Management Permissions

When Management is Enabled

• Full access to add, edit, and delete staff members
• Photo upload available (if images included in plan)
• All actions are immediate

When Management is Disabled

• Staff list displays in read-only mode

Tournament organizers can control staff management permissions separately from roster (player) management in Settings > Team Panel.

Custom Attributes

If the tournament organizer has configured custom attributes for staff members, additional fields will appear in the add/edit forms and as extra columns in the staff table. These allow organizers to collect specific information relevant to their tournament (e.g., coaching license number, certification level).

For Tournament Organizers

Managing Staff from the Dashboard

Tournament organizers can also manage staff for any team directly from the main dashboard:

1. Navigate to Teams and Players in the sidebar
2. Click Edit on the team
3. Open the Staff tab
4. Add, edit, or remove staff members

Controlling Staff Management

To enable or disable staff management for team managers:

1. Go to Settings > Team Panel
2. In the Team Manager Permissions section, toggle Allow Staff Management
3. Click Save

When disabled, team managers can still view their staff but cannot make changes. This is useful when you want to lock staff lists during the tournament.
