Add a Group Leader

Configure Group Leaders for Users to manage group members directly in the User portal.

📌 Note: The screenshots and settings shown in this article may not match what you see in your own platform, as Rosterfy is highly customisable. If you need guidance specific to your setup, please contact our support team.
