# Leader Console

The Leader Console gives trip leaders a participant-facing workspace for managing the parts of a trip they have been allowed to oversee. It lives inside the participant dashboard, not the admin Trips area.

## Accessing the Leader Console

1. Log in as a participant.
2. Open the trip from the participant dashboard.
3. Click **Leader Console** if the participant has the **Leader** role.

If the participant is not a leader, or if leader access is not available for that trip, the Leader Console does not appear.

## Current Leader Console tabs

The current Leader Console includes these tabs:

* **Participants**
* **Budget**
* **Milestones**
* **Tasks**
* **Completions**
* **Templates**

The tabs and actions a leader can use depend on their effective [Leader Permissions](/guides/core-features/program-management/trips/leader-permissions.md).

## Participants tab

When permitted, leaders can:

* view the trip roster
* add participants
* edit participants
* withdraw participants
* invite participants
* export the roster

The participant tools in the Leader Console use the same trip-specific workflow concepts as the admin roster, including goals, roles, tags, and minor or guardian information.

## Budget tab

When permitted, leaders can:

* add budget items
* edit budget items
* delete budget items

## Milestones tab

When permitted, leaders can manage fundraising milestones for the trip.

## Tasks tab

When permitted, leaders can:

* add tasks
* edit tasks
* delete tasks
* review task targeting
* open the participant roster for a task
* send reminders when reminder access is available

## Completions tab

When permitted, leaders can review participant task submissions. If approval access is enabled, leaders can also approve or reject submitted completions.

## Templates tab

When permitted, leaders can:

* create task templates
* edit templates
* delete templates
* apply templates to the current trip

## Important scope note

The current Leader Console focuses on participant, budget, milestone, task, completion, and template management.

It does **not** currently mirror every admin-side trip tool. For example, the leader-facing console does not include the admin **Communication** history tab, the admin **E-Signatures** tab, or the admin **Background Checks** tab.
