Member

A member is the standard participant in a syndicate. Members do the day-to-day work of using the asset: they make bookings, log usage, report squawks, submit expenses, and see their own balance. They cannot manage other members or change syndicate settings.

Most people in any syndicate are members.

Anyone who joins a syndicate starts as a member unless the inviting admin picks a different role on the invite.

A member’s equity status (their share count) and their billing scheme are separate concepts from role. Both describe financial state, not capability; role decides what a member can do, while shares and scheme decide what they pay and how cash calls and votes are weighted. All three are orthogonal. See Roles, equity, and member rates.

Members carry no special badge; they are simply listed on the Members screen (reached from the My Syndicate card on the Dashboard, or from Admin → Members if you are an admin) without an admin label. Everything a member can do is in the usual places: Calendar, Bookings, Balance, and the asset screens.

A member can:

Action Where
Create a booking Calendar tab (drag-to-book, tap to create).
Pencil in a tentative booking Create booking dialog, “Pencil in (tentative)” toggle.
Confirm one of their tentative bookings Booking detail, confirm action.
Cancel one of their own bookings Bookings list (swipe on pending bookings), booking detail.
Log usage for a booking they own Booking detail → Log usage.
Report a squawk Asset detail → Squawks → Report.
Submit an expense Dashboard → Submit Expense.
View their own balance Dashboard → Balance card, or Balances tab in the home shell.
View asset utilisation Dashboard → Asset Utilisation.
Update their own profile, timezone, and notification preferences Profile tab.
Subscribe to the ICS calendar feed Bookings tab → Subscribe to calendar.
Leave the syndicate Profile → Manage my syndicates (subject to the exit guards; see Leave a syndicate).
  • A member can only edit and cancel their own bookings. They cannot act on other members’ bookings.
  • If the syndicate has booking approval enabled, a member’s new bookings start as pending and need admin approval. An admin’s own bookings skip the pending queue.
  • A member cannot access admin screens: pending approvals, unconfirmed squawks, expense approvals, unfinalised-bookings queue, syndicate settings, or the invite screen.
  • A member cannot change their own role or anyone else’s; role changes are admin-initiated.
  • A member cannot leave while they have unresolved payments or bookings; Leave a syndicate lists exactly what counts.
