This article explains the various roles that are supported by the Topsportslab platform and how they help you manage access to specific parts of the platform.
The Topsportslab platform allows you to have access to (or share your data with) multiple teams. These links are called affiliations. As a user, your role can change per affiliation. E.g. you can be a Physiotherapist in the A-Squad while simultaneously being a Coach on one of the others teams in your organisation (or while being an athlete in a team you have set up with friends to play on Sundays).
Roles only help determine what functionalities (pages) you have access to. All roles except for Athletes have access to the same level of data within a team. Roles are not the same as privileges. Where roles determine your access to functionalities, privileges determine what data you may manipulate and what higher level settings you may change (e.g. Team settings, Club settings, editing test configurations etc.)
You can learn more about privileges here.
