Roles and permissions
Every person at a mosque holds one or more roles there. A person can also hold different roles at different mosques. All of this authority lives in Kadim’s own domain, never in a sign-in provider’s settings.
The roles
| Role | Signs in? | Can do |
|---|---|---|
| Volunteer | No account needed | Claim slots, drop them, offer a skill |
| Coordinator | Yes, with their email | Create, change and share rotas, run the duty board, make schedules repeat, post call-outs, thank the team |
| Trustee | Yes, with their email | Everything on the safeguarding dashboard: record checks, chase expiries, run the policy review, export the audit, read year coverage |
| Platform operator | Yes, platform sign-in | Create mosques and move them along their lifecycle, read product feedback |
A coordinator sees the DBS status chips so they know who can be placed, but never the certificate facts. Only trustees see those.
Who can appoint and remove
Appointing and removing roles happens on the Team page, which admits coordinators and trustees. Use the floating Add someone button to appoint someone. To remove a role, tap the person in the team list to open their member page, tap Actions, then tap Remove beside that specific role. The governing rules are:
- Coordinators appoint and remove volunteers and coordinators.
- Trustees are appointed and removed by an existing trustee, with one exception: the first trustee at a fresh mosque may be seated by a coordinator, so someone can get the committee started.
- A coordinator cannot remove a trustee.
- Nobody changes their own role. Ask another trustee, or the Kadim team.
- The last trustee cannot be removed while any safeguarding records exist. A replacement trustee must be appointed first.
The full how-to is Appoint your committee .
Who can record a check
Only a trustee can record a DBS check, chase an expiry, sign off the policy review or export the audit. A coordinator cannot.
Who can publish a rota
Only a coordinator can create, change, share, publish or repeat a rota, or post a call-out. Volunteers and trustees see their own views.
What suspension changes
When a mosque is suspended, coordinators are locked out of the rota and team screens, and actions that spend on texts are paused. A trustee’s read access to safeguarding records is never blocked. See Mosque lifecycle states .
