Community Admin
Community admin surfaces live under Hub -> Admin and separate governance from event operations.
Governance vs Operations
Governance (usually OWNER/ADMIN)
- hub settings and branding,
- role management,
- invite and join-policy control,
- high-impact moderation decisions.
Operations (OWNER/ADMIN/MANAGER where allowed)
- event creation and publishing,
- ticket and attendance operations,
- event updates,
- event-day staffing/scanner workflows.
Use Roles and Permissions for exact boundaries.
Recommended Operating Rhythm
Weekly
- review join requests/invite health,
- verify member share-link policy still matches your moderation posture,
- review invite usage outcomes (
joined,pending,no longer member) for anomalies, - verify readiness for upcoming events,
- review moderation and incident queue.
Invite and Join Attribution Controls
- Use
Hub -> Admin -> Invitesto create labeled invites with optional join messages and max-use limits. - Use
Hub -> Admin -> Settingsto control whether members can create tracked share links. - If members join from
?code=...&referrer=...URLs and need to sign in first, attribution is preserved after auth.
Before publishing each event
- ticket policy and capacity confirmed,
- required forms attached/published,
- staff assignments and permissions tested,
- event schedule and visibility verified.
Event day
- scanner operators assigned,
- form blockers resolved deliberately,
- critical updates posted clearly,
- attendance and incident logs monitored.
Post event
- attendance and reconciliation reviewed,
- refunds/voids resolved,
- lessons captured for next event.
High-Risk Actions (Pause and Double Check)
- changing community roles,
- bulk member removal,
- destructive moderation actions,
- refund/void actions,
- visibility changes on active published events.
If an Admin Action Fails
- Verify active hub context and your role.
- Verify event-scoped staff permissions if relevant.
- Confirm this is governance vs operations action.
- Capture exact error text + URL + UTC timestamp.
- Escalate with minimal reproduction steps.
High-Quality Handoffs
Use a consistent handoff note when shifts change or when support/ops takes over:
- open issues and immediate risk,
- actions already attempted,
- decisions made and by whom,
- next owner and escalation route.
