bruh
there is a reason why cords and admins and sa have diffreent status
cords can make matchs, vc, or daily/live,
admins can do all of that and kick, ban, mute, all normal members
super admins can do all of that and premote other people, demote admins and other sa plus other stuff
I know that perfectly well but since SA's and ordinary admins are listed together in the club's endpoint, why not include cordinators as well?
They may not have all the priviliges of other admins but they're more than members. For me the perfect solution would be to divide them into their own categories.

Seems sensible to at least include them in the Admin list. Agree that having three categories would be better.
At present it's not possible to distinguish between SA's and ordinary admins and I daresay that would be quite useful to some developers. But I'd like to see something along these lines...

...,"admin":["https://api.chess.com/pub/player/belpheron","https://api.chess.com/pub/player/suzumija","https://api.chess.com/pub/player/pavolmederly"],...
might instead return ...
...,"admin":{"super_admins":["https://api.chess.com/pub/player/belpheron","https://api.chess.com/pub/player/suzumija"],
"admins": ["https://api.chess.com/pub/player/pavolmederly"]},...
As part of the process of checking if clubs and their representatives qualify to take part in the leagues I help to run, I test the status of those who claim to be admins of the clubs they enroll.
Sometimes members claim to be when they're not and that matters because they can't set-up matches when we ask them to and my program soon identifies them.
The only problem is that from time to time it also highlights someone who turns out to be a coordinator. I've been puzzled for some time why coordinators have the same status as ordinary members. Ideally, it would be useful if the endpoint was split into three categories - SA's, ordinary admins and coordinators but I think coordinators should be included in the admin list at the very least.
Here's a case in point:-
@jamesreed88 has been nominated to represent Squadron Commandos but doesn't appear in the list of admins in the endpoint for the club...
