Troubleshoot Academy Staff Accounts and Permissions

Resolve staff creation conflicts, OTP login problems, missing branches, denied features and permission changes that are not visible.

Staff Management is not available

  • Confirm the Academy owner is logged in. Staff cannot manage staff accounts.
  • Confirm the Academy is on Growth or Premium.
  • Free-plan Academies must upgrade before adding staff.

The mobile number cannot be used

  • Confirm it is a valid 10-digit Indian mobile number.
  • The number may already belong to a Player, Coach, Academy owner or Academy staff member at another Academy.
  • One mobile number can hold only one platform role.

The staff form will not save

  • Enter the staff name.
  • Select at least one active branch.
  • Enable at least one permission module.

The Academy staff member cannot log in

  • Use the exact mobile number registered by the Academy.
  • Request a fresh OTP and check the mobile network.
  • Confirm the staff account is active.
  • Staff mobile-number recovery is Academy-managed. The current app does not expose a validated self-service staff mobile change, so contact VR SPORT Support if the registered number is no longer accessible.

A branch is missing

  • Confirm the Academy owner assigned the branch to the Academy staff member.
  • Confirm the branch is active.
  • Ask the Academy staff member to refresh or sign in again after branch access is changed.

A feature is denied

  • Confirm the correct permission module is enabled.
  • Confirm the Academy plan includes the feature.
  • Some sensitive screens remain owner-only even when all modules are enabled.
  • Community also requires Academy Premium.

Updated permissions are not visible

  • Save the staff record again and confirm at least one module remains enabled.
  • Ask the Academy staff member to refresh the screen or sign out and log in again.
  • Confirm the Academy staff member is working in an assigned branch.
