Federation joining a federation

At federation level, this step means handling how organizations and governed participants become part of the federation workflow.

What this step is for

This step explains how the federation approves and tracks the organizations that are joining its administrative structure.

Where to do it

• organization-facing flow: Organization admin
• federation-side control: Federation admin

How it works

1. Receive or review school and club requests.
2. Confirm the organization fits the federation scope.
3. Decide whether issuer or approval rights should be granted.
4. Approve the organization into the federation workflow.
5. Confirm that downstream license and eligibility flows now work.

What the federation must protect

• rule consistency
• auditability
• correct issuer permissions
• clean separation between approved and unapproved organizations

Common blockers

• Organizations expect immediate approval.
• An organization is approved without all required checks.
• License workflows are opened before approval is complete.

What success looks like

Organizations can operate within federation rules, and unapproved organizations cannot accidentally use federation-managed workflows.
