Felixthecat05: I am a Director of a newly formed CC where the Owner has given me the same privileges as he has
AFAIK, this is not possible. The only member-oriented permissions that the owner can grant to any rank (like Director) are what you say:
Felixthecat05: When I go to CC Tools tab all I see are options to Email or Invite
With problems in these, please ask WGT's CS.
Tools related to member status, like change of ranks or exclusion, remain exclusive to the owner.
Felixthecat05: but, and here’s the rub, neither of us are able to update members’ status.
The owner should be able to do so, either in members list in the browser, using the three orange dots (that only he sees) in front of the names, or in the app, using "ranks and permissions" on the "Tools" tab behind the "Country Clubs" tab.
Your access to the webpage of your CC is here (link), right next to forum access.
