Roles for Alliance members have been added with different purposes and powers. Alliance Leaders can assign these roles to their members so that they can help manage the Alliance. A player’s role is displayed below their name in the Alliance’s List of Members. 

Leader:

• Leaders are the owner of the Alliance.
• They can rename the Alliance, edit its description and picture, view and accept/reject requests from outsiders who want to join the Alliance, and kick anybody out of the Alliance.
• They can also promote/demote any other members to any rank.
• Leaders cannot leave the Alliance, but can transfer the ownership of the Alliance to a non-Leader and then they become a regular Member after the process, at which point they are allowed to leave the Alliance if they want.
• Finally, Leaders have the power to disband the Alliance entirely which removes all Members of all rankings from it.

Co-Leader: 

• Similar to a Leader, a Co-Leader can rename the Alliance, edit its description and picture, view and accept/reject requests from outsiders who want to join the Alliance, and kick anybody (except the Leader) out of the Alliance.
• They can also promote other members up to the Co-Leader rank and can also demote other Co-Leaders. Co-Leaders cannot disband the Alliance.
• An alliance can have up to two Co-Leaders. 
• Because this role is quite powerful, Leaders should be careful who they promote. Make sure that player is trustworthy!

Officer:

• Officers can view and accept/reject requests from outsiders who want to join the Alliance and kick players below their rank (Members and Veterans) out of the Alliance.
• They cannot promote/demote anybody and cannot affect Leaders and Co-Leaders, making this role a “safer” one to give to another player who would like to help moderate the Alliance.
• An alliance can have up to three Officers. 

Veteran:

• Veterans don’t have any additional powers compared to regular members.
• This role can be used by Leader/Co-Leaders to recognize the outstanding contribution of a member.

Member: 

• Member is the default role which any player has when they join an Alliance.
• This role cannot affect other players in the Alliance.

Promotion and Demotion:

• To promote or demote players of their Alliance, Leaders and Co-Leaders can go to the Alliance’s List of Members and tap on a player’s name to see Promotion and Demotion options. Promotions and demotions can be attributed in linear sequence: Member ↔ Veteran ↔ Officer ↔ Co-Leader ->Transfer ownership. 
• Please note: After transferring ownership of the Alliance, the ex-Leader becomes a Member (not a Co-Leader). The new Leader can promote the ex-Leader up to Officer or Co-Leader if desired.
