# What can't an Organization Editor do?

For contrast, here's what stays exclusively with a School Admin (Junior or Senior) — none of this appears anywhere in your view of the organization's page:

*From the Organization Editor manual, "What You Can't Do (Admin-Only)".*

For contrast, here's what stays exclusively with a School Admin (Junior or Senior) — none of this
appears anywhere in your view of the organization's page:

- **Creating a new organization** — only an admin sees "New Organization" in the nav.
- **Editing category or short name**, and **Archive/Re-enable** — the "Edit category / short name"
  link and Archive button next to the organization's name.
- **Granting or revoking Editor access** — the entire "Editor access" section (who else has been
  delegated access to this organization) is invisible to you, not just its buttons.
- **Deleting a Sign-Up or a Poll** — you can create and edit both, but only `/signups/admin` and
  `/polls/admin` (admin-only pages you can't reach) can delete one.
- Any other organization you haven't been granted access to, and any school-wide Calendar event,
  Sign-Up, or Poll (one with no organization attached).

code path that checks it, plus a live click-through as a real delegated Organization Editor account
against a local Supabase instance, as of 2026-08-13. Update this manual any time an Editor-facing
page, button, or workflow changes.*
