Roles explained

What Admin, Affiliate, Independent Organiser, Reader, and Ticket Seller can each do.

Last reviewed 25 August 2026

Every member of your organisation has a role that decides what they can see and do. There are five, each suited to a different kind of teammate.

Admin

Full access. Admins can do everything — create and edit raffles, run draws, manage payouts and bank accounts, invite and manage teammates, and change organisation settings. The org-wide Sponsorship page (the reusable sponsor list and tiers) is admin-only too, since sponsors appear on public surfaces like tickets and emails. Give this role to the people genuinely running your fundraising.

Affiliate

Creates and runs raffles on behalf of your organisation, without full access to the organisation's settings or finances. Affiliates are typically individuals or businesses fundraising for you. They can build raffles and manage their own raffles; depending on your settings, their raffles may need an admin's approval before going live (see Affiliate raffle review).

This is the role behind Fundraising for an organisation.

Independent Organiser

Runs a single, authorised raffle for your organisation. This is the role for someone outside your organisation who's been granted authority to run one raffle on your behalf — the run a raffle for another organisation path. Like an affiliate they build and manage their own raffle and can sell at the booth for it, but their access is tied to that authorisation rather than being an ongoing part of your team.

Affiliates and independent organisers can also invite and manage their own ticket sellers, scoped to their raffles, from the SELLERS page in their dashboard. See Add a Ticket Seller to your team.

Reader

Read-only access. Readers can view the organisation and its raffles — including Payouts and Compliance — but can't change anything. Good for a treasurer, a board member, or anyone who needs visibility for oversight without the ability to edit.

Ticket Seller

Booth-only. A Ticket Seller can sign in and sell tickets at the Ticket Booth and manage the orders they place — and nothing else. No raffle settings, no organisation settings, no payouts. When they sign in, they go straight to the booth. Ideal for event volunteers and casual staff. See the Ticket Booth section.

RaffleLink's roles can grow as the product does. If you see a role here that the table above doesn't mention, the in-product description (shown when you pick a role while inviting) is always the source of truth for what it can do.
