Roles determine what people can see and do in Dribl. There are administrative roles that are designed for people who are responsible for managing aspects of their organisation or competition, including registrations, members and game day administration in Dribl. Non-administrative roles let people access Dribl and engage with their football community.

## **Role Categories**

Dribl supports four types of role categories which are further broken down based on the various roles that can be assigned to a Dribl account: **Administrators**, **Members**, **Supporters**, and **Guests**.

**Administrators**

Competition, referee and club administrators have exclusive access and delegated authority to administer all aspects of their organisations. Dribl provides the ability for real-time administration, insights and communication with their respective members.

**Members**

Anyone with an active registration in current season is considered a Member in Dribl. A corresponding member account is the gateway to the world of Dribl, providing members with personalized access to resources, functionality and information based on their specific role and privileges (ie. player, coach, manager, referee etc).

**Supporters**

A supporter account is for anyone that has created a Dribl account, but does not have an active registration in the current season. A supporter account allows you to follow your favourite teams or leagues, with real-time access to match schedules, results and ladders as well as linking to any family member accounts. A supporter account also allows for your personalised settings to be saved and sync across different devices.

**Guests**

Browsing as a guest is also a way to enjoy using Dribl without needing to create an account. We realise many people come to Dribl each day with the intent to follow their favourite teams or leagues, without the need for additional functionality. Guests can upgrade to a supporter account easily at any time.
