Why don't I have Contest Manager access level to a contest when I am set as Manager?
By dennismv, history, 3 years ago, In English

Another user created an "Official School Contest" for our Contest Group. Then set me as a Problem-Setter and added me to the Contest Managers list.

However, I cannot edit the contest, or enter it as a Manager. I could enter as a regular participant, and could see the scoreboard, but have no access to the contest otherwise, despite the expected access levels.

Does anyone know why that is, or how to get Manager access privileges in this case? Is that connected in anyway to Coach Mode on CF? How can I enable one?

Yes it's connected to coach mode, however coach mode requires you to be either an orange or a purple with at least 30 contests (not so sure about the exact number of contests for purple)

    Not true. Just tested on a group that I am manager on(not owner) and I have manager mode when I enable it from right side of the bar without enabling coach mode.

      It works only for mashups. If the contest in the group is a gym (id starts with 1...), the coach mode is required.
