# Group Roles and Permissions on WR-Games

> Understand WR-Games group roles — member, co-host, and organizer — plus how to create custom roles with tailored permissions on Standard and Pro plans.

WR-Games uses a role system to help you delegate responsibility without ever losing control of your group. Every person in your group holds a role that determines what they can see and do — from a member who attends events and joins the chat, all the way to an organizer who manages every aspect of the group. On Standard and Pro plans, you can go further and define custom roles tailored to exactly how your community operates.

## Default Roles at a Glance

| Role      | Can create events | Can manage members | Can manage settings |
| --------- | :---------------: | :----------------: | :-----------------: |
| Member    |         No        |         No         |          No         |
| Co-host   |        Yes        |       Limited      |          No         |
| Organizer |        Yes        |         Yes        |         Yes         |

## What Each Role Can Do

<Accordion title="Member">
  Members are the core of your community. They can:

  * **RSVP** to events and add items to their Bringing List
  * Participate in **group chat** and **forum threads**
  * View group announcements and events
  * Vote on **Schedule Finder polls** and group polls

  Members cannot create events, approve join requests, or change any group settings.
</Accordion>

<Accordion title="Co-host">
  Co-hosts are trusted members you've empowered to help run the group day-to-day. They can do everything a member can, plus:

  * **Create and edit events** for the group
  * **Manage some settings**, such as editing event details and moderating the forum
  * Message attendees through event communications

  Co-hosts cannot remove or ban members, approve join requests, or change core group settings like visibility and billing.
</Accordion>

<Accordion title="Organizer">
  Organizers have full administrative control over the group. They can do everything a co-host can, plus:

  * **Approve or decline** join requests
  * **Remove or ban** members from the group
  * **Manage all group settings** — name, description, visibility, welcome message, and more
  * **Send announcements** to all members
  * **Assign and change roles**, including promoting members to co-host or organizer
  * View **group analytics** (Standard+)
  * Create and manage **custom roles** (Standard+)

  The group creator is automatically an organizer. You can have multiple organizers in one group.
</Accordion>

## Custom Roles (Standard+ Plan)

<Note>
  Custom roles require a **Standard or Pro plan**.
</Note>

Custom roles let you go beyond the three defaults and build a permission structure that matches your community. For example, you might create:

* **Event Manager** — can create and edit events, but cannot manage members or settings.
* **Moderator** — can remove posts from the forum and mute members in chat, but cannot touch event or billing settings.
* **Welcome Team** — can approve join requests and send the welcome message, but nothing else.

To create a custom role, go to **Group → Settings → Roles → Create Role**. You'll choose a name, pick a color, and toggle individual permissions on or off. Once saved, the role appears in the member management panel and can be assigned to any member.

<Tip>
  Use co-hosts to share the event management workload without granting full organizer access. If you need even finer control — like someone who only manages the forum — create a custom role on Standard or Pro.
</Tip>

## Assigning Roles

Changing a member's role takes just a few clicks:

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open your Members panel">
    Navigate to your group page and click **Members** in the sidebar.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Find the member">
    Search by name or scroll through the list to locate the member you want to update.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Change their role">
    Click the member's name or the **⋯** menu next to them, then select **Change Role**. Choose the new role from the dropdown — including any custom roles you've created — and confirm.
  </Step>
</Steps>

Role changes take effect immediately. The member receives an in-app notification letting them know their permissions have been updated.
