In this article, we talk about the recommended setup for "Trayn Single" and how changing the configuration will affect other settings. If you only want to let athletes manage their own calendar, please refer to Athlete Calendars.

The main property to enable is the self-managed flag on the athlete. As administrator, navigate to User Management and select the user. From there, enable the flag in the Settings section.
​

With this setting enabled, the user can do everything with their own profile that was previously only available to trainers.

Please note: this setting is not fully supported on our applications on iOS or Android. On these devices, we recommend using the web version of Trayn, by directly going to app.trayn.com on the device's browser.

Turning on self-managed for a user makes them a trainer in addition to their athlete role, but we have greatly simplified the management. They can do everything a trainer usually does, and, in addition, the user will be available as a trainer for teams.
​

If you add this athlete/trainer as a trainer to a team, they will be able to see and do everything a normal trainer can do.

The idea is to make a few scenarios possible, while, at the same time do not require a user to switch between athlete and trainer accounts. We have seen requests fro this in several organizations, e.g. a trainer who is also an athlete on the team, or training groups of individuals with some of them being responsible for the programming.

Some organizations use this setup for the trainers participating in their educational programs. For such a setup we recommend the following approach.

This way, instructors can use Trayn to communicate with course participants and look at what they are working on. In addition, course participants can focus on their coursework and not see other participants.

Also take a look at the Messaging Settings to open/restrict the way users can communicate within teams or with their peers and trainers.
