Officer Roles

How officer roles work, how to see who holds them, and how they tie to admin access.

Officer roles are how your organization designates leadership positions. In fellos, officer roles are more than titles — they can carry admin privileges that determine what a member can do in the system. Every officer role's name, description, and admin level are set up by your site admin.

Understanding Officer Roles

Each officer role your site admin sets up has these properties:

• Role name — The title of the position (for example, "President," "Secretary," "Road Captain," "Sergeant-at-Arms," or a role specific to your organization).
• Admin level — Whether holders of the role get Club, Org, Local, or Compt (Comptroller) permissions, or no admin access at all.
• Board — Which governing body the role belongs to (for example, a chapter board, an executive council, or a regional board).

When a member is assigned a role at a specific organization, they get whatever admin privileges the role carries, applied at that organization's level of the hierarchy.

Viewing Current Officers

To see who currently holds officer roles:

1. Click your organization's name in the left sidebar (the entry is labeled with your organization's actual name).
2. The organization page opens with two panels — the organization tree on the left, and Chain of Command on the right.
3. The Chain of Command panel lists each organization and the members currently serving in officer roles there.

This page is view-only: it's where members go to see who their current officers are.

Assigning Officers

Officer assignments happen in the admin area, not on the Organization page. As an Org Admin, you do not have access to this screen — officer assignments are handled by your site admin.

If you need an officer added, removed, or changed, ask your site admin. They'll handle it in the Admin area's governance tools, where each board has its own set of role slots to fill.

Members with Multiple Roles

A single member can hold more than one officer role at once — for example, someone might serve as both Secretary of one organization and Vice President of another. In that case:

• All of their roles appear on their member profile.
• If those roles have different admin levels, the member ends up with the combined permissions of all of them.
• Each role can be at a different organization.
• Removing one role doesn't affect the others.

How Role Scope Works

When an officer role has an admin level, the scope of that admin access is determined by where the role is held:

• Club — Full access across every organization in the club.
• Org — Access over the organizations that sit below the one where the role is held.
• Local — Access only within the exact organization where the role is held.
• Compt — The separate Comptroller designation for finance-related responsibilities. See the Comptroller Designation page.
