How to give coaches and staff access to your Run5 team

Run5 uses role packs. Each role gives a person access to only what they need. Only the team owner and Admins can give or change roles. You do this in the Run5 admin portal at admin.run5basketball.com.

Pick the right role

Tip: start with the smallest role that does the job. You can change it later.

Option 1: invite a new staff member

  1. Log in at admin.run5basketball.com.
  2. Open Staff & Permissions in the left menu.
  3. Click Invite staff.
  4. Enter their name and email, then pick a role.
  5. Click Send invite.
  6. Copy the invite code shown and send it to them. Run5 does not email it for you.
  7. They open Run5, tap Join a team, enter the code and create their account. They join with that role.

Option 2: give a role to someone already on the team

  1. Log in at admin.run5basketball.com.
  2. Open Staff & Permissions.
  3. Scroll to Staff role packs.
  4. Find the person and pick their new role from the dropdown. It saves straight away.
  5. Ask them to refresh the portal, or log out and back in, to see their new menu.

Note: the dropdown only works for people who have already joined the app with their invite code. Send players their code first (see How to join your team and log in to Run5).

Manage staff

Good to know

  • Can’t see Staff & Permissions? Only the owner and Admins can see it.
  • In the mobile app, the “Assistant” switch on a player only sets Assistant coach. Use the portal to make someone an Admin.
  • Players who become staff keep their player profile, stats and payments.
