For Leadership

For leadership

Members of elected leadership see everything a member sees, plus the tools for running the tribe. These are gated to the leadership ring — a regular member signing in never sees them, and never receives their code.

Managing the roll

The membership roll is the tribe's most important record, and orgware gives the recordkeeper full control of it:

  • Look up any member and see their full record and their complete change history — every edit, who made it, and when.
  • Maintain the record — status, member type, position, voting eligibility, key dates, and the recordkeeper fields: fee status and exemptions, the core-member flag (used for BIA reporting and constitutional compliance), second-chance status, and review flags.
  • Convert an honorary member to a regular member — a single reviewed action that archives the old ID (so it can never be reused) and issues a fresh regular ID in one atomic step, carrying the person's identity and contact details over. There's a preview first, so you see exactly what will change before you commit.
  • Manage member photos — upload or replace the photo on any member's record.

Every change to the roll is written to an audit log, and the roll lives in an access-controlled database that's backed up nightly (encrypted, off-site) and is never exposed to the public site or to non-leadership members.

Note: these roll capabilities are live today through the platform's API and tools. The dedicated in-portal roll book screen (/members/tribal-roll) is being finalized — until it lands, the recordkeeper works the roll through the tools rather than a polished page.

The full library

Leadership sees the entire Tribal Record — every classification, including the leadership ring (banking, legal, membership, and other sensitive records) — and can hold durable API/MCP keys to work with the whole corpus. → The Tribal Record · API access

The contact directory

Leadership has a role-tiered view of the tribe's contacts and lists — admin, viewer, or counts-only. → Contact & the directory

The cost & usage console

waccamaw.org/members/usage

One of orgware's promises is honest cost transparency — leadership should always be able to see what the platform costs to run. The console shows, in real time:

The cost & usage console

  • Cloudflare usage — Workers requests, database reads/writes and storage, file storage and operations, and key-value usage, each metered against the free-plan limits, with a plain-language verdict (comfortable / watch / warning) and a nudge if the tribe is approaching a paid tier (~$5/month).
  • Email — how many member emails have gone out this month against the free allowance, plus any bounced or suppressed addresses.
  • Backup health — when the last successful backup ran (healthy if within the last day and a half).

The whole point: no surprises. The tribe can see it's running a full member platform for a few dollars a month, and knows in advance if that's about to change. (This panel is fully live once a read-only analytics token is set — see How it's built.)

In progress

A couple of leadership screens are still being built out and currently show a "port in progress" placeholder: the in-portal roll book (/members/tribal-roll), the contact directory page (/members/contacts), and an engagement dashboard (/members/engagement). The capabilities behind the roll book already work through the tools described above; the pages are being brought into the portal.

The rings, again

Everything here is leadership-only because of who you are, resolved at sign-in from the leadership allowlist and your role — not because of a hidden link. A member who typed one of these URLs would simply be sent back to the front door.
