Off the Clock Docs

Running the community

Roles

Every permission in Off the Clock comes from records admins write. This page lists who can do what.

The community identity

Draft outline

@off-the-clock.us owns every space. It is always an admin, creates the management space, can create a space's missing halves, and connects the community session. Few people should hold its password.

Community admins

Draft outline

Made on Community admins. They can do everything in every space: create spaces, grant any space, appoint space admins, label, set default feeds.

Space admins

Draft outline

Appointed per space. They manage that space's members, feeds, policy, and directory profile. They can't see records, blobs, or labels, and can't touch other spaces.

Members and invited people

Draft outline

Members read and post in their spaces. Invited people have a grant but haven't joined; they can't read anything yet.

What each role can do

Draft outline

A table: rows = tasks (create space, grant members, appoint space admins, build feeds, set default feed, set policy, edit directory profile, label, browse records/blobs), columns = community identity, community admin, space admin.

Grants that don't count

Draft outline

A grant counts only while its author is an admin. Demoting an admin makes their grants stop counting; the admin pages mark them "does not count".
