Certain individuals within an organization or a team might be responsible for leading or supporting a group of coaches or observers. This article explains what a Lead is and how to set and configure their permissions on a Walkthrough or Coaching instance.

What is special about being a Lead in KickUp?

  • Each Lead can have a list of coaches or observers that is specific to that lead within that instance

  • Setting someone as a Lead in a Walkthrough or Coaching instance in KickUp allows them to see data submitted by the other specific coaches or observers that are on the Lead's list

  • Depending on the instance settings, being a Lead may also allow them to manage the rosters of the specific observers or coaches on their list, or even add more observers or coach to the instance. Read more about roster management settings here.
