roster
Names on payroll
A roster is a list of names, typically of people belonging to a group or scheduled for duty.
Sports teams have rosters of players; workplaces post rosters showing who works which shifts.
The word implies organized membership or rotation: She checked the roster to see when she was on call.
To roster someone is to add them to such a list.
