Accounts and roles

Signing in

Sign in at /login. A session is kept in an HttpOnly cookie, so it survives a page reload and is not readable by scripts in the page.

You can create your own account from /register. Self-registration always produces a viewer — there is no way to give yourself a higher role, and no role field on the registration form.

The three roles

Role	Can
viewer	Read everything: guilds, players, units, mods, leaderboards, history. Follow players and receive notifications. Manage their own profile and password.
officer	Everything a viewer can, plus the guild-management surfaces intended for people running a guild.
admin	Everything, plus the Administration section: user accounts, task history, backfills, and unlock visibility.

Only an admin can change anyone's role, including raising a viewer to officer. Admins cannot remove their own admin role — the check that prevents an admin locking everyone out of the instance is deliberate.

TIP

If you are the only person using your instance, you are an admin and the distinction never comes up. The roles matter when a guild shares one instance.

Your account

Everything about your own account lives under Profile and settings: display name, password, and the list of players you follow.
