Roles & Permissions

Control access and collaboration in your drafts with Draftastic’s sharing and role-based permissions.

Sharing Drafts

Share your draft publicly or via direct invites:

• Share Link: Generate a public link anyone can use to join. Copy from the “Share Draft” button in the header.
• Email Invites: Send personalized invites to specific emails. Recipients get a secure sign-in link. You can add multiple emails at once.
• Social Sharing: Share the link on platforms like Facebook, Twitter (X), WhatsApp, Telegram, and Facebook Messenger.

Once shared, participants can join instantly without additional approval (unless participant limits are reached or entry is locked).

Participant Roles

Assign roles to control what users can do:

• Owner: Full access – create, edit, delete draft; manage all settings and participants.
• Editor: Manage teams, participants, and settings; cannot delete the draft.
• Participant: View and update their own profile; edit team name if assigned.
• Captain: Lead a team in captain’s pick drafts; select participants during their turn.

Roles are assigned by owners/editors in the Participants tab. Promote users by editing their role. Only real users (not placeholder participants) can be assigned roles beyond “Participant”.

Permissions Overview

Managing Access

• Lock Entry: Prevent new participants from joining. Useful when you’re ready to start the draft.
• Read-Only Mode: Lock the entire draft to prevent any changes. Once enabled, the draft becomes immutable.
• Remove Participants: Owners/editors can remove users, who get a notification. You cannot remove yourself or the draft owner.

For large groups, use labels to categorize participants and assign roles for delegation.

This ensures secure, collaborative drafting tailored to your event’s needs.
