Members, as an admin

Adding and removing people

An admin can add people and edit anybody’s details.

When somebody stops dancing, take them off the list. That moves them to Associate members with a leaving date, and keeps everything they ever answered. If they come back, they’re put back the same way.

Only delete a record permanently if it’s a duplicate or a mistake.

Dates of birth

A date of birth is held for one reason only: the group’s insurance. Only admins can see it, and nothing else in the app uses it. It’s needed for everybody who performs, but optional for associate members, since the cover is for whoever is out dancing.

Associate members and email

Associate members are never emailed: no Weekly Digest, no notice of events being added or moved, nothing at all. Mail they didn’t ask for and can’t act on is no kindness.

Making somebody an admin

Only an admin can make somebody else an admin, on that member’s page. The last admin can’t have it taken away, or there’d be nobody left to put things right.
