Who can do what in BANDANA
Bands have two roles — admin and member. Venues have three — owner, host, and member. Invited people always join with the lower-privilege role until someone promotes them.
Roles are set per band and per venue, so you can be an admin in one band and a member in another.
Change someone's role
- 01Open the band or venue and go to the Members tab.
- 02Open the member you want to change.
- 03Pick the new role and save. Only band admins and venue owners can do this.

Good to know
- Hosts run sessions like open mics and jams. Everything to do with gigs, bookings, and tickets is owner-only.
- Venue invite links are role-specific: an owner link grants owner access and a host link grants host access, so send the right one.
- Band invite links always add people as members. Promote them afterwards if they need admin access.
- Offline mode in the iOS app is read-only for every role — editing needs a connection.
