What you will learn
- How Admin, Staff, Management and External user roles differ
- How to send an activation and password-setup invitation
- How SELF, PARENT, GUARDIAN and AUTHORIZED VIEWER links work
- When to disable a membership and when permanent deletion is appropriate
Before you start
- Confirm which role the person needs and, for Staff, which job subrole applies.
- Use the person’s existing email if they already use Akeye. One email represents one Akeye identity across organizations.
- For an athlete or parent, decide which athlete record the account should be connected to.
Key concepts
- Admin
- Full organization administration, including users and destructive document actions.
- Staff
- Operational team members such as coaches, medical staff, analysts and team managers. A subrole describes their job.
- Management
- Management access to organization operations without full Admin authority.
- External user
- An ApplicationUser account for an athlete, parent, guardian or authorized viewer. The relationship is set on the athlete record.

Permissions and important rules
Common problems
| Common problems | What happens next |
|---|---|
| The email is already registered. | Search Users first. If the identity already exists, invite or link that existing email instead of inventing a duplicate. |
| Sub-roles are not shown. | Sub-roles are used for Staff. External relationships such as SELF and PARENT are selected from the athlete’s People tab. |
| The account appears but cannot be linked. | Confirm it has the External user role. The picker can show internal roles even though those are not valid athlete relationships. |
| The person did not receive the expected language. | The invitation form’s explicit Invitation language is authoritative for a new account’s first activation email. |
