Edit syndicate

What it is

The Edit Syndicate screen is the owner/admin screen for changing the syndicate’s name and description, and for deleting the syndicate. It is deliberately separate from the Settings hub, which is for operational configuration (billing, privacy, booking policy, and so on). Identity and destruction live on their own screen so they are not touched during routine settings work.

Who can use it

Owner — full access, including delete.
Admin — can edit name and description. The delete card is owner-only.
Members — no access. The pencil icon is not shown.

Where to find it

In the app:

Open the syndicate.
On the syndicate detail screen, tap the pencil icon next to the syndicate name.

Route: /syndicates/:syndicateId/edit.

Fields / options

Field	Notes
Name	Required. 3–50 characters. Shown in every list and breadcrumb across the app.
Description	Optional. Up to 500 characters. Free text.

Below the form, a Delete this syndicate card appears for owners only. The card shows a warning: “Once you delete a syndicate, there is no going back. All assets, memberships, and history will be permanently deleted.”

Behaviour rules

Name validation is client and server side. An empty or too-short name is rejected on save. The server also enforces uniqueness-per-owner.
Description is free text. No markdown rendering, no links. Line breaks are preserved.
Delete is irreversible. Delete cascades to assets, memberships, bookings, usage logs, transactions, squawks, and maintenance items. The delete confirmation requires a typed confirmation of the syndicate’s name.
Members are notified when a syndicate is deleted. Each member receives an in-app notification and, if they have email notifications on, an email.
Changing the name is non-destructive. Bookings, usage logs, statements, and transactions keep their internal references; only the display name changes everywhere it appears.
