Organize Your People. Simplify Your Program
Ankored's People Management system mirrors how your organization actually works — teams, programs, locations, age groups — then automatically applies the right requirements to the right people.
Your Organization, Structured for Success
Ankored's system gives you the tools to organize thousands of people as easily as managing ten.
- Build a hierarchy that matches your real-world structure.
- Define roles that trigger the right requirements.
- Track compliance at every level, from individual coaches to entire programs.
Key Features
Organizational Hierarchy
Your organization isn't flat, why should your system be? Create a hierarchy that reflects how you actually operate: by location, program, team, age group, or any combination that fits your structure.
Core Capabilities:
- Unlimited programs and sub-programs (clubs, teams, divisions, locations).
- Parent-child relationships for complex organizations.
- Mirror existing registration platforms automatically when integrated with Ankored.
Role-Based Management
Not everyone needs the same clearances. Coaches need background checks and abuse prevention training. Lifeguards need CPR. Board members need employment contracts. Ankored automatically assigns requirements based on roles, not manual lists.
Key Capabilities:
- Custom role creation for your organization.
- Automatic requirement assignment by role.
- Multi-role support (one person, multiple positions).
- Optional vs. mandatory requirements by role.
- Role-based permissions and system access.
Common Roles We Support:
- Head Coach
- Assistant Coach
- Team Manager
- Volunteer
- Official/Referee
- Board Member
- Staff (Full-time/Part-time)
- Seasonal Employee
- Lifeguard
- Parent/Guardian
- Player/Athlete
Program Roster Dashboard
See every person in your organization, their compliance status, and their assigned requirements, all from a single dashboard. Filter by program, role, or status. Take action on one person or one hundred.
Dashboard Features:
- Real-time compliance status for every individual.
- Visual indicators (cleared, incomplete, pending review).
- Filter by role, program, compliance status, or name.
- Search across entire organizational hierarchy.
- Realtime top level stats for every program.
- One-click access to individual profiles.
- Export rosters and compliance reports.
Bulk Actions:
- Add users individually or in bulk (CSV upload).
- Move users between groups.
- Change roles and permissions.
- Remove inactive users.
- Resend activation emails.
- Update requirement assignments.
Flexible User Onboarding
Every organization onboards differently. Ankored supports your process, whether that's manual entry, bulk uploads, self-registration, or automatic syncing from your registration platform.
Onboarding Methods:
- Manual Entry Add users one at a time through the dashboard.
- Bulk Upload Import hundreds of users via CSV template.
- Sign up Pages Generate role and program specific signup pages share via email or website.
- Automated Sync Integrate with LeagueApps, TopScore, Sprocket, or other registration platforms.
- API Integration Connect your HRIS, volunteer management, or custom systems.
Self-Registration Benefits:
- Passive recruitment, post a link users sign themselves up.
- Role-specific URLs automatically assign the right requirements.
- Reduces admin workload during peak registration periods.
- Users activate accounts and complete requirements immediately.
Permissions & Access Control
Not everyone should see everything. Ankored's permission system ensures administrators can manage their scope — and only their scope — while protecting sensitive information and maintaining audit trails.
Permission Levels:
|
Permission Level |
Access Rights |
|
Admin |
Complete control: all features, users, billing, settings across entire organization |
|
Director |
Manage assigned groups, view user profiles, run reports, change user roles within scope |
|
Manager |
View group dashboards and user compliance status within assigned groups (read-only) |
|
Account Manager |
Manage users and requirements; assign roles and track completion |
|
Individual |
View and complete only personal requirements |
Hierarchy-Based Segmentation: Directors and Managers only see programs within their scope. A regional director sees their region's teams, not the entire organization. This prevents information overload and maintains appropriate access boundaries.
External Stakeholder Access: Grant read-only Manager access to insurance providers, league officials, or governing bodies who need to verify compliance without editing anything.
Multi-Program & Multi-Role Support
Coaches work with multiple teams. Staff support multiple programs. Parents have kids in different age groups. Ankored handles complexity without creating duplicate work.
How It Works:
- Assign individuals to multiple programs (e.g., a coach for both U10 and U12 teams)
- Assign multiple roles to one person (e.g., Coach + Board Member)
- Requirements completed once transfer to all relevant groups and roles
- Single profile across entire organization, no duplicate accounts.
Sync with Systems You Already Use
Ankored can automatically sync your organizational structure and roster with many popular Sports Management or Park & Rec software solutions. When someone registers, they're added to Ankored. When they're assigned a role in your system, requirements populate automatically.
Benefits:
- Zero manual data entry.
- Real-time updates when changes occur.
- No duplicate systems or conflicting data.
- Single source of truth across platforms.
Supported Platforms:
- LeagueApps
- SportsEngine
- TeamSnap
- Custom API integrations
