This guide covers the first and most important step when setting up Team Manager. Before creating teams, fixtures, or training sessions, schools must assign Full Access to the appropriate staff member (usually a Head Coach, Sports Coordinator, or member of senior leadership) so they can configure the system correctly.

Once this is done, the Head Coach (or nominated staff member) can complete the initial system setup by adding venues, fixture types, and choosing visibility and notification preferences.

Understanding Access Levels

Team Manager has two levels of access:

1. Standard Access (Default)

By default, all staff members have access to Team Manager. This allows them to:

• View teams
• View fixtures and training sessions
• View basic team information

2. Full Access (Settings Access)

Full Access unlocks the Settings area in Team Manager. This is required for anyone responsible for managing the structure of the system.

With Full Access, users can:

• Create and manage Venues
• Create and manage Fixture Types (e.g. Friendly, League, Cup Match)
• Control Notification settings
• Enable or disable Team Sheet visibility for parents
• Typically, Full Access is given to:
• Principals
• Deputy Principals
• Admin staff
• Head Coaches
• Sports Coordinators

How to Assign Full Access

Only Principals, Deputy Principals, and Admin staff can assign Full Access.

To do this:

• Go to uniqueschoolapp.ie and log in
• Navigate to Access & Permissions 
• Click Add
• Enter a Title of your choosing ("Team Manager" or “Coaches”)
• Choose Type: Team Manager
• Add the email address of the staff member(s) you want to give Full Access to

⚠️ Important: The staff member must already be registered on the School App before they can be added.

Initial Setup (For Head Coaches / Full Access Users)

Once Full Access has been assigned, the nominated staff member can complete the initial Team Manager setup.

Step-by-Step Setup

• Go to uniqueschoolapp.ie and log in
• Click Team Manager (second tile from the left, near the bottom of the screen)
• Click Settings
• Add your Home Venues
• Add your Fixture Types (e.g. Friendly, Cup Match, League)
• Choose whether you want Notifications enabled
  • This allows messages to be sent to parents, students, and staff
  • Useful for updates, cancellations, and reminders
  • Recommended: Leave this turned ON
• Choose whether parents can see the Team Sheet in the app
