# Who can do what

> The five levels of timing access, and which one to give a volunteer.

When you issue a timing link, you choose what that person can do with it. Pick
the smallest one that lets them do their job.

| Give them   | So they can                                                                        | Typical person                     |
| ----------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------- |
| **View**    | Watch the timing screen, change nothing                                            | A coach, a commentator, a parent   |
| **Timer**   | Press start and stop, record finishes, write notes, clear a time they just entered | Your finish-line volunteers        |
| **Marshal** | Everything above, plus mark DNF / DNS / DSQ and type in times by hand              | Your chief judge or head marshal   |
| **Admin**   | Everything above, plus finalize, publish, and issue more links                     | You, and whoever is running timing |
| **Refund**  | Reserved for a future release — does nothing today                                 | —                                  |

<Tip>
  **Timer** is the right answer for almost every volunteer. It's everything
  needed to record a race and nothing that can change an official result.
</Tip>

You can combine them. A volunteer who both records finishes and marks riders
out gets **Timer + Marshal**.

## What a timing link can never do

However you set it up, a volunteer link is limited to the one event you issued
it for. Someone holding it cannot:

* See or touch any other race or event in your organization.
* See registrations, riders' personal details, or any money.
* Reconfigure the timer, change its settings, or wipe its data.
* Issue more links, unless you gave them **Admin**.

That's the point of them: you can hand a phone to someone you met that morning
without giving them anything else.

## Organization members

Anyone who is an **admin**, **manager**, or **timer** in your organization
already has full timing access to every event you run — they don't need a link.

<Note>
  While Time2Bike is in beta, all organization members have full access
  regardless of their assigned role. Timing links are the reliable way to give
  someone narrow access today.
</Note>

## Switching someone off

Open **More actions → Operator tokens** and click **Revoke**. Their device stops
working immediately. Anything they already recorded stays — revoking access never
removes results.

Links also expire on their own after however many hours you set when you created
them. Setting that to just past the end of your event is a good habit.
