Narrative: I was working CIC/Ground Control (GC)/Flight Data (FD)/Clearance Delivery (CD) combined with Runway XY in use. In this configuration GC owns/controls Runway XXR and Runway XXL east of Runway XY and Local Control owns/controls Runway XY and Runway XXL and Runway XXR west of Runway XY. The departure for both Runway XXL and XXR are at the east end of the field.Standard procedure is on GC in Runway XY configuration is to give taxi instructions to aircraft and include runway crossings (we has a waiver for 2 runway crossings at Taxiway Charlie). For example: [aircraft call sign] Runway XY taxi via Hotel Charlie; cross Runway XXL and Runway XXR at Charlie.I had given taxi instructions to 2 aircraft and given runway crossings to both aircraft to cross Runway XXL and Runway XXR at Taxiway Charlie.The Local Controller gave instructions to Aircraft X to line up and wait on Runway XXL; in the standard Runway XY configuration; Local 1 does not own/control that portion of the runway. Local 1 then proceeded to give Aircraft X a takeoff clearance at which point I came up on the recorded line and stated 'Runway XXL full length your control; [controller's initials].' The Local 1 Controller stated something to the effect of; 'oh yeah.'As the Ground Controller I had to go back to both taxiing aircraft and ensure that they held short of Runway XXL as there was now a departing aircraft for that runway.A few minutes later Local 1 cleared Aircraft Y for takeoff on Runway XXR. Again in the standard Runway XY configuration at my Local 1 does not own/control that portion of the runway. I brought this to the attention of the Local Controller who then after clearing a second aircraft for takeoff on a runway they did not own/control they proceeded to request control of Runway XXR full length.As the Ground Controller I had to go back to both taxiing aircraft mentioned above and ensure that they held short of Runway XXR now as there was now a departing aircraft for that runway as well.All of these coordination's are to take place prior to giving aircraft any type of clearance/instructions for the active/inactive runways. Essentially Local 1 gave 2 takeoff clearances on 2 inactive runways back to back while Ground Control had given 2 aircraft crossing instructions for the same runways.Have controller re-train or have refresher training on SOP. Have controller demonstrate working knowledge of airport configuration and runway in use.




Synopsis: Controller reported that the Local Controller did not follow the SOP and cleared aircraft for takeoff from a part of the runway that Local did not own.
