# How do I assign roles and rights in my club?

> Assign your club's roles: managers, memberships, events, members and dogs, discussions, bookkeeping and documents, each with its own rights.

Rights are set in **Manage the club** > **Setup** > **User rights**. For each role, choose one or more people, then tap **Save**. Only the club's managers can open this page.

## Assign a role

1. From the club's home page, tap **Manage the club**.
2. In the **Setup** section, open **User rights**.
3. Tap the field of the role to assign (for example **Membership managers**), search for the person by name and tick them. You can select several people per role.
4. Repeat for the other roles.
5. Tap **Save**.

The **Managers** field cannot be left empty: a club always has at least one manager.

## Which roles are available?

| Role | What the person can do |
| --- | --- |
| **Manager** | Club administrator: automatically has every right, including the club, season and rights settings. |
| **Membership Manager** | Is notified of membership requests, can approve or refuse them, view and export members, and manage member functions. |
| **Event Manager** | Manages the calendar: creating, editing, publishing, importing and deleting events. |
| **Members & Dogs Manager** | Can add comments to member and dog files and view the dogs' vaccinations. |
| **Chat Manager** | Can delete discussions and messages, and change the title, pinning and participants of discussions. |
| **Accounting Manager** | Has access to the club's bookkeeping and can add financial movements. |
| **File Manager** | Can add and edit the documents shared with members. |

## Who receives membership requests?

Notifications and emails about new membership requests go to the membership managers. If no membership manager is set, the club's managers receive them.

## Who sees the "Manage the club" button?

The **Manage the club** button is shown to managers, membership managers, event managers and accounting managers. Each of them only sees the sections that concern them: for example, an accounting manager sees the **Accounting** section and the **Cash** tile of the [dashboard](/en/docs/members/dashboard/), but not the club setup.

Chat, file and members & dogs managers use their rights directly in the **Discussions**, **Documents** and **Members** sections.

## Not to be confused with functions

Roles grant rights in the app. **Functions** (president, treasurer, coach…) are simple labels shown on members' profiles, which can also be used to restrict certain events. See [How do I assign functions to club members?](/en/docs/members/member-functions/).
