Managing Accounts

The Manager Accounts page at Commissioner → Manager Accounts has three parts:

• Create Account, for adding a new EMFFL login.
• Account Mapping, for linking EMFFL accounts to Sleeper, Yahoo and ESPN identities and setting roles.
• Unknown Accounts, for naming teams with no known owner.

Account Mapping

Every person who plays in EMFFL needs:

1. An EMFFL account (their login).
2. Their Sleeper account linked, so their display name, avatar and stats appear correctly.
3. Their Yahoo and/or ESPN account linked, if they played in 2018 or 2015–2017.

The mapping table shows one row per EMFFL account, with a dropdown for each platform.

Linking Accounts

• Sleeper Account: pick their Sleeper display name. Every synced Sleeper manager is listed.
• Yahoo Account: pick their Yahoo nickname. Only managers from the 2018 Yahoo import are listed.
• ESPN Account(s): pick their ESPN username. Only managers from the ESPN import are listed.

Linking is what combines a person's stats across eras on the Managers page.

Active Member

The Active checkbox marks who's in the league right now. Active members:

• appear on the Trash Talk Profiles page
• can be included in push notifications and side bets
• get injury alerts when "active members only" is on

Uncheck it for people who have left the league. Their history stays.

Assigning Roles

The Role column sets what each user can do:

Superusers always have full access, and their role can't be changed here. Only a superuser can change another superuser's account links.

Saving

Click Save All Changes at the bottom of the form. Every link, role and active setting is saved together.

Creating an Account

Use Create Account to add someone who doesn't have an EMFFL login yet. Enter their first name, last name and email.

New accounts start as not active. Check Active for them in the mapping table and link their Sleeper account, then save.

Unknown Accounts

Below the mapping table, an Unknown Accounts section lists any placeholder managers: teams whose real owner wasn't identified during sync or import. There are separate lists for Sleeper, Yahoo and ESPN.

These teams have real historical stats that are kept in league records. You can give each one an alias (a readable name) so it shows up as something meaningful instead of a placeholder like unknown_2016_team10.

Setting an Alias

1. Find the account in the Unknown Accounts table.
2. Replace the placeholder name with a descriptive label, for example:
3. Left mid-season 2023
4. Unknown 2016 — Team 6
5. Click Save Aliases.

The alias replaces the placeholder everywhere in the app: standings, records, matchup cards and the Managers page.

Linking Unknown Accounts to Real People

Once you know who an unknown account belongs to:

1. Make sure that person has an EMFFL account. Create one if needed.
2. In the Account Mapping table, select the unknown account in the right platform's dropdown on that person's row.
3. Save. The stats are now credited to their real account.

Orphaned Rosters

If a Sleeper roster has no manager at all (different from a placeholder), a warning banner appears above Unknown Accounts. This shouldn't happen normally, but it can if a sync was interrupted.

If you see it, run a fresh Sleeper sync. If it doesn't clear, contact the app developer.
