# Managing consent across the roster

> Keeping consent current for a whole team.

Consent in RinkNotes is **per player** and controlled by that player's parent. As an admin
or head coach, your job is to keep it current:

* Send a [consent request](/coaches/consent-requests) for every player before capturing about them.
* Watch each player's consent status on the **Roster & Consent** screen.
* Re-send requests to parents who haven't responded.
* Remember that a parent can withdraw at any time — capture for that player stops immediately.

## Reading the roster

The **Roster & Consent** screen shows a status beside every player:

| Status                          | Capture                                                       |
| ------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Consent ✓**                   | Allowed                                                       |
| **Consent pending**             | Blocked — waiting on the parent                               |
| **Awaiting email confirmation** | Blocked — a "This is my child" confirmation link is unclicked |
| **Consent withdrawn**           | Blocked — the parent opted out                                |
| **Consent expired**             | Blocked — needs renewal                                       |

A running **"X / Y consented"** bar at the top tells you how much of the roster is ready.

## Coaches who are also parents

If a player on the roster is a staff member's own child, they use **"This is my child"** rather
than emailing themselves — RinkNotes sends a confirmation link to their registered email as
proof of consent. Until they click it, the player stays **Awaiting email confirmation**.

<Warning>
  Consent is enforced by the system, not by convention. A blocked player's notes are held as
  **consent blocked** and are never attributed to the child — there's no way to override it
  short of the parent granting consent.
</Warning>

The full parent side of this is documented in the [Parents](/parents/consent-request) section.
