For DZ admins & staff4 min readUpdated

Account & access

Create your EZDZ account, complete your jumper profile (including what to enter if you have no USPA membership), register at your dropzone, and get your admin or staff role.

View .md

Everyone on your team, admin or staff, has a normal EZDZ account first. Your role is then added to that account. This page covers each step.

Create your account

  1. Open the app link your EZDZ contact sent you.
  2. Click Sign In / Sign Up in the top right, then choose the Create account tab.
  3. Enter your Full name, Email, and a Password (at least 6 characters), then confirm the password.
  4. Tick I agree to the Terms of Service and Privacy Policy and click Create Account.

You're signed in right away. Forgot your password later? Use Forgot password? on the sign-in tab and we'll email you a reset link.

Complete your profile

EZDZ asks for your jumper profile when you register at a dropzone. If anything is missing you'll see Finish your jumper profile to register with a Complete profile button.

The form is titled Complete Your Jumper Profile.

Staff without a license or USPA membership

Instructors, office staff, and videographers don't always hold a jump license. The profile still needs a value, so:

  • License Number: enter 00000 and choose A License. The link Fill it in for me does this in one click.
  • Canopy Size: if you don't own a canopy, enter 190. You can change it later in Settings.
  • Exit Weight: enter your real weight with gear.
  • USPA member number: leave it blank. It's optional and is entered separately in your account settings (see below).

You can update any of this later under Settings → Your Profile & Settings.

Adding your USPA member number

Open your dashboard, go to Settings, find USPA Membership, and fill in USPA Member Number. This is your numeric USPA ID (like 95031), not your license number (like D-17516). It's optional, and it speeds up verification at dropzones that use USPA checks.

Register at your dropzone

  1. Open your dashboard and go to the Manifest page.
  2. In Your Dropzone, pick your dropzone.
  3. Click Register at {Dropzone name}. If your profile is incomplete, finish it first.

Registration is instant. You become a Fun Jumper at that dropzone, which is the starting role for everyone.

Get your admin or staff role

Registering doesn't make you an admin. Someone with admin rights raises your role:

  • Your EZDZ contact can do it. Email door@ezdz.xyz or tell the person who onboarded you.
  • An existing DZ admin or owner can do it under Settings → Manage Staff. Find your name and use the Role dropdown (Fun Jumper, DZ Staff, DZ Admin, DZ Owner), then Save.

Instructor and pilot flags

Two switches in Manage Staff matter for the day-to-day:

  • Is Instructor marks someone as a tandem or AFF instructor. It applies to the person everywhere, not just one dropzone.
  • Is Pilot is set per dropzone. Only people flagged as pilots show up in the Pilot (Optional) list when you create a load.
