FIELD MANUAL / 27
Managing a squadron
The owner's console: members, roles, grants, entry codes and the nuclear options.
Squadron owners manage everything from the manage console: open your squadron and click Manage.
Managing members
- Change roles: promote a trusted pilot to manager, or step a manager back down.
- Per-member switches: toggle gear-editing and ledger/analytics access per member.
- Assign role templates: bundle switches into presets and assign them in one click. See Roles & permissions.
Entry codes
Generate a fresh entry code with an expiry of your choosing (a set number of days). Codes:
- Expire automatically, so there is no cleanup to remember.
- Can be regenerated at any time; old codes stop working when they lapse.
The money lock
Only owners and managers can edit purchase costs on squadron gear. BeaconUAV enforces this itself; there's no workaround, even outside the app. It keeps the squadron ledger trustworthy.
Leaving, transferring and deleting
These are destructive, so they demand explicit confirmations:
- Leaving: an owner must transfer ownership (or delete the squadron) before leaving; managers and members can just leave.
- Deleting the squadron: owner-only, double-confirmed. Shared gear and membership data go with it; your personal hanger and logs are untouched.
Warning:
Deleting a squadron is permanent for the shared space. Members keep their own sessions and personal gear. Squadron hanger entries and ledger history do not survive.
