Each group has at least one admin. The person who creates a group is its first admin. Admins can edit the group, manage members, regenerate the invite code and delete the group. Regular members can add expenses, comment, dispute, settle up and leave.
Make someone an admin
- Open the group and go to the Members tab.
- Tap the member. The Manage … sheet opens.
- Tap Make Admin and confirm. The member now carries the Admin label.
To take the role away again, tap the member and choose Remove Admin Role.
Remove a member
- On the Members tab, tap the member and choose Remove from Group.
- Confirm Remove. The app warns: This action cannot be undone.
The removed person loses access to the group. Expenses they paid or took part in stay in the group so balances remain correct.
Pin default split members
Stars on the Members tab mark pinned members. Pinned members are pre-selected when anyone creates a new expense in this group. Tap the star to Pin as default split member or Remove from default split members.
Good to know
- Only admins see Make Admin, Remove Admin Role and Remove from Group.
- An admin cannot leave a group while they are the only admin and other members remain. Promote someone first, see Archive, leave or delete a group.
- Members who joined with the app are called real members; people you manage on their behalf are virtual members, see Add a virtual member for someone without the app.
Web
The Members tab on the web shows roles and lets you add or remove virtual members. Promoting admins and removing real members is done in the mobile app.
