What Is a Crew in STALKR?
A Crew is a persistent trusted group used for scoped location sharing, markers, statuses, and field coordination. Each Crew is an independent privacy and data scope.
How this works
Everything scoped in STALKR hangs off a Crew: member locations, Markers, Zones, Crew events, and the activity that notifications are built from. Switching Crews tears down one set of realtime subscriptions and loads another, so an object you created elsewhere is not hidden — it is out of scope.
Membership is decided by an admin, not by holding a code. Resolving an invite exposes only the Crew name, its canonical code, whether the code is persistent or temporary, when it expires, and whether the Crew is at its limit.
Free accounts can hold up to 2 Crews with up to 5 members each, and Pro has higher configured limits. When the Crew list cannot be loaded, STALKR reports it as unavailable rather than as an account with no Crews, because a failed request and an empty list mean very different things.
What happens next
Nothing is published to a Crew until you turn Live on for it. Belonging to one is not sharing with it.
Common problems
- Objects created in one Crew are never visible from another; they were not global to begin with.
- A Crew list that cannot be fetched is shown as unavailable rather than as having no Crews.
