Crew roles and leadership: who can do what
The four crew roles and their rights, how roles are assigned and members removed, and how the owner transfers ownership of the crew.
Published
Every crew has four roles with fixed rights: owner, crew admin, officer and member. There's always exactly one owner. Roles can only be given below your own. The owner transfers ownership themselves. Only if an owner is suspended or has requested the deletion of their account can WANTED SIX hand the leadership to a member of the crew.
The four roles
Owner: all crew settings, members and roles, transferring ownership and dissolving the crew.
Crew admin: crew profile and application questions, members below their own role, applications, invitations and the channels in the crew chat.
Officer: decides on applications, sends invitations and has access to the “Leadership” channel.
Member: belongs to the crew, writes in the crew chat and takes part in crew activities.
The owner, crew admins or officers register the crew for challenges. Every member of the crew can see the member list.
Assigning roles and removing members
In the member list, choose Change role or Remove next to a member. The rules are:
The owner can give any other member the role of crew admin, officer or member, and can remove any other member.
A crew admin only manages officers and members and only assigns those two roles.
Officers and members can't change roles. Nobody changes their own role.
When removing someone, you can give a reason. Only the owner and crew admins see it in the management history.
The person concerned is notified each time. Anyone who has been removed can rejoin later under the normal rules.
Transferring ownership
As owner, open the member list.
Choose Transfer ownership next to the member you want.
Type the crew's slug to confirm and complete the transfer.
The member becomes owner and is notified, and you become crew admin. Only the new owner can undo this, by transferring ownership back.
The management history
In the management history, the owner and crew admins can see who changed members, roles, applications, invitations and settings, and when. Actions the platform has taken against the crew appear there too. Chat content is never included.
Good to know
Crew leadership isn't WANTED SIX moderation. It can accept and remove members but can't impose sanctions or delete other people's individual messages.
Report breaches within a crew as you would anywhere else, and messages in the crew chat with Report messages.
