Roles and permissions

Every Bluebridge user has exactly one role. The role is set when your account is created (via invite) and gates what menus and actions you see.

The three roles

• Official, finds work, applies to events, accepts or declines assignments, files match reports when designated referee. This is the default for invited officials.
• Assignor, creates events, builds private groups (rosters), assigns officials, reviews match reports for their events. Can also apply to events they don't own (acting as an official on that event).
• Admin, everything an assignor can do, plus visibility into every event/assignment on the platform, invitation of other assignors, and role changes for any user.

What each sees

• Officials see: For Officials menu (Find an event, My Assignments, My Applications, My Groups).
• Assignors see: For Officials menu + For Assignors menu (My Events, My Groups, Match Reports).
• Admins see: all three menus including the admin-only "For Admin" group (Admin dashboard, All Events, All Assignments, All Groups, All Users, Audit Log).

Admins can apply to events they don't own

Admins are a special case: even though every event shows them the assignor edit chrome (pencils, settings, the applicants list), they can also act as an official on events they neither own nor co-assign. The Apply button shows up for them on those events, and they can be assigned, accept, and officiate just like any official. This lets working admins keep officiating without having to hand off their account permissions.
