Ranks and permissions
Ranks mirror the in-game alliance hierarchy. R5 and R4 run alliance operations; owner-only account and lifecycle controls remain reserved. R3 and below get a useful member workspace — My Week, assignments, targets, private trends, standings and their own history — without controls that drive the alliance. Narrow capabilities can grant specific jobs without promoting someone to R4. The same permission rules are enforced in the UI and on the server.

Narrow capabilities
Capabilities are additive grants for a specific job. They do not turn a member into an officer and they do not unlock unrelated controls.
- Event manager — create and edit matches, then manage rosters and battlefield assignments.
- Results recorder — record match results and attendance.
- Recruiter — generate and share the alliance invite link.
// NOTE
How ranks change
R5 can set anyone's rank, including moving an R4 to R3. R4 can only set ranks at R3 and below — they can't create another R4 or modify another R4's rank. Placeholder members can't be promoted or demoted; their rank is set when the placeholder is created and only changes when the placeholder is merged into a real account.
R5 can't change their own rank from the members panel — there's a separate Transfer Leadership flow for that, which moves R5 to a target member and demotes the previous R5 to R4.
Owner-only controls
R4 and R5 share operational configuration, including alliance identity, event schedules, integrations, display rules, and Performance Expectations. The reserved boundary is ownership: billing, archive/delete, leadership transfer, co-admin management, and invite-code rotation stay with the alliance owner or an authorised web admin.
