Why don’t I have Meet Administrator privileges?

If you’ve uploaded meet results to Swimcloud but don’t see the ability to edit or manage that meet, it’s likely related to how the meet was created.

🧩 Background: How Meet Administration used to work

Previously, Swimcloud automatically assigned meet administrator privileges to whoever uploaded the result file — even if that person wasn’t directly associated with the hosting team.

While this made things convenient, it also caused issues when results were uploaded by someone who wasn’t part of the meet’s staff or host team.

🔄 What’s changed

Beginning in summer 2025, Swimcloud updated how meet administration privileges are assigned:

• If a new meet is created from a result file:

  • No Meet Administrator is assigned. The Swimcloud staff person who processed the result becomes the meet admin

  • If Swimcloud can identify and mark the host team, coaches from the host team with meet management privileges become meet administrators

• The uploader is no longer automatically granted meet administration privileges.

This ensures that only verified meet hosts and their staff have editing control.

🛠️ How to ensure you have meet control

To make sure you (or your team) retain meet management access:

1. Create the meet first on Swimcloud before the results are uploaded.
   → Create a Meet on Swimcloud

2. Upload your result file directly to that meet.
   → Upload a result file to a meet

By doing this, Swimcloud recognizes you as the creator and ensures your meet administration access is retained.
