Team Members
Team Members adds staff accounts to your dashboard. Without it, your platform has one operator. With it, you can give each person exactly the areas they need and nothing else.
Find it at Settings > Members once the add-on is active.
Members are your internal staff. Users, under Overview in the sidebar, are your customers: the artists and labels who registered on your portal. They are separate directories with separate permission models.
Role presets
Start from a preset. They are built around real jobs, and you can narrow one further with a custom role if you need to.
| Preset | Can do | Typical hire |
|---|---|---|
| Org Admin | Everything except deleting members and roles | Your second in command |
| Distributor | Artists, releases, tracks, release processing, QC scoring, tickets | Delivery operations |
| Label Manager | Artists, releases, tracks, tickets, and user lookup | Label relationship manager |
| Content Manager | Artists, releases, tracks, tickets | Catalog and metadata work |
| Accounting Manager | Payouts, revenue splits, subscriptions, membership packages, logs | Finance |
| Support Manager | Tickets end to end, plus read access to users, releases, and tracks | Customer support |
| QC Manager | Release review, release processing, and QC scores | Quality control |
| Read-only Analyst | View access across catalog, finance, support, and logs. No writes | Reporting and audit |
Owner and Admin are the built-in full-access roles. They are not offered as presets because you should not be handing out full access casually.
Permission groups
Custom roles are built from these groups, so you can see at a glance what any role touches.
| Group | Covers |
|---|---|
| Dashboard | Access to the dashboard itself |
| Members | Viewing, inviting, updating, suspending, and deleting staff, plus role management |
| Users | Your customer accounts |
| Catalog | Artists, releases, tracks, and release processing |
| Finance | Payouts, revenue splits, subscriptions, and membership packages |
| Support | Tickets, including priority, status, escalation, and cancellation |
| Quality | QC scores |
| Add-ons | Add-on management, smartlinks, and theme publishing |
| Audit | Activity logs |
Inviting someone
- Open Settings > Members and select the invite action.
- Enter their email.
- Pick the preset that matches their job, or select an existing custom role.
- Review the permission list shown before you send. It is the fastest way to catch an over-broad choice.
- Send the invitation. They set their own password when they accept.
Start narrow. Widening a role later is a two-minute change; discovering someone had payout access for six months is not.
Custom roles
Use a preset unless one genuinely does not fit. When you do need a custom role:
- Start from the closest preset rather than an empty list.
- Remove what they do not need instead of adding one permission at a time.
- Name it after the job, not the person.
Roles marked protected cannot be edited, which keeps the presets intact as a reference point.
Guardrails
The system prevents the mistakes that lock you out of your own platform:
- The last owner or admin-capable member cannot be removed.
- You cannot demote yourself if you are the last admin-capable account.
- Roles are always scoped to your own organization.
- A duplicate active invitation is blocked until the existing one is cancelled or accepted.
Audit
Every invitation, role change, suspension, removal, and permission update is recorded. Check it after any access change, and during any offboarding.
Using the Members API
Member endpoints require both Team Members and the Enterprise Delivery API add-on to be active. If only one is active, those endpoints return an add-on access error even with a valid credential.
In API requests, use the documented preset values and the permission keys returned by the member permissions endpoint. The names in the table above are display labels.
Common questions
Does a member count as one of my customers? No. Staff accounts and customer accounts are separate.
Can a member see other organizations? No. Roles are scoped to your organization only.
What happens if I deactivate the add-on? The Members area leaves the sidebar. Existing staff accounts and roles are retained, so reactivating restores them.
Someone left the company. What do I do? Suspend or remove them in Members, then check the audit trail for anything they changed recently. If they held API credentials, rotate those too.
