You have four ways in. Most teams use the join code for riders and the staff code for coaches, and never touch the other two.

​
The join code

Find it under Settings → Join code. Click Generate a join code if you don’t have one yet.
!!-IMAGE-NEEDED-!! — The Join code card: the code, the share link, the “People who use it join as” dropdown, and the Disable / Rotate buttons.
You get two things:
  • A code — ABCD-1234. Read it out, print it on a flyer, put it on a whiteboard.
  • A link — time2.bike/join/ABCD-1234. Anyone who opens it lands straight on the join screen.
The code works regardless of your join policy. Holding the code is the invitation, so an invite-only team can still use one.

​
People who use it join as

Leave this on Athletes. It’s your rider code, and switching it to Coaches would make every rider who uses it a coach. A code never grants admin rights on the team — that stays a deliberate choice.

​
Disable and rotate

  • Disable code — the code stops working, but you keep it.
  • Rotate — issues a new code and invalidates the old one. Use this the moment a code escapes into somewhere you didn’t intend.
The card shows how many times the code has been used. The share link is shown at the top of the Invites tab, which is admin-only today. Copy it there and pass it on however you like — text it to a parent, put it in the team chat, print it. Once someone has the link, they can forward it to anyone. Recruiting the next rider isn’t an administrative act, and the parent already on the team is usually the one doing it. Creating, rotating, and disabling the code stay with admins in Settings.

​
The staff join code

A separate code, under Settings → Staff join code, off until you turn it on. It exists because your rider code is set to Athletes and needs to stay that way. Whoever uses it lands on the roster as coach or manager immediately — no approval step.
This makes an adult staff on your roster with no review. Hand it to people directly; never paste it into a group chat. If you’d rather vet each coach, leave it off and turn on staff applications instead.
Being on the roster as staff is not the same as being cleared. If your league requires credentials, new staff will see what they owe and can upload proof, but that’s a separate thing from joining.

​
What happens when someone claims staff on the rider code

They’re asked what they’re joining as when they redeem, and picking Coach or Manager on a rider code puts them on the roster as invited. They’ll be told so on screen. An admin confirms it from the roster with Confirm as coach. Until then, they count for nothing.

​
Email invites

The Invites tab sends a personal invitation to one email address.
1

Open Invites and click the add button

!!-IMAGE-NEEDED-!! — The Invites tab with the shareable join link at the top and a list of pending invites.
2

Enter the email and pick a team role

This is the team role (member / admin), not the roster role.
3

Send

The invite shows in the pending list with who sent it and when it expires.
Pending invites can be resent (if someone lost the email) or revoked.

​
Applications

For teams that want to read something about each person before letting them on. Set Join policy to Application required in Settings, then build the form. Full detail in Applications.

​
Which should I use?

Join code, read out at the first practice, plus a staff code handed to your assistant coaches. Nothing else.
Join policy set to Application, with a form asking about racing experience and category. Keep a staff code for the coaching staff.
Email invites. There are eight of you.
