Roles & permissions

PlanMyPeak has two coach roles. Your role is set when you join and decides what you can see and change.

Head coach — runs the company. Head coaches manage the team, see every athlete, and control company-wide settings such as compliance alert rules and custom AI feedback.
Assistant coach — coaches the athletes assigned to them. Assistant coaches have full control over their own athletes’ reviews and feedback, but don’t see company-wide settings or athletes they aren’t assigned to.

How you get a role

When you create a company during sign-up, you become its head coach.
When you join an existing company with an invite code, you join as an assistant coach.

A company can have more than one head coach. See Managing your team for how head coaches invite and manage coaches.

What each role can do

“Assigned” means an athlete has been linked to a specific coach. Head coaches always see every athlete; assistant coaches see only their assigned athletes.

When you don’t have permission

Head-coach-only pages still appear for assistant coaches but show a short message explaining the page is limited to head coaches — for example, “Only head coaches can manage compliance alert rules.” If you think you need head-coach access, ask a head coach in your company to grant it or make the change for you.
