Managing User Permissions

Think Crew’s permission system allows you to control who can view and edit your projects, scripts, schedules, and designs. Understanding and properly managing permissions ensures secure collaboration across your production team.

Permission Levels #

Think Crew offers several permission levels to give you granular control:

• Creator: The highest level of access. Creators can make any changes and manage all permissions. The creator of a document cannot be removed.
• Edit: Users can make changes to the document and alter permissions for other users.
• View: Users can only view the document without making changes.
• None: No access to the document.

Accessing Permissions Management #

You can manage permissions in several ways:

• From the Permissions page in the main navigation
• From a project’s management panel
• When creating new projects, scripts, or schedules
• When sharing designs or palettes

Adding Users to a Project #

To add users to a project:

1. Navigate to the project’s management panel
2. Click on “Manage”
3. Select “Share”
4. Enter any user’s names or email addresses
5. Confirm to send invitations

If a user already has an account they will be automatically added to your project. If the person doesn’t have an account they will receive an email inviting them to Think Crew. When they join they will be automatically added to your project.

Changing Permission Levels #

You can modify permission levels for existing users at any time, provided you have edit or creator privileges:

1. Find the user in the permissions list
2. Use the dropdown menu next to their name to change their permission level
3. Changes take effect immediately

Child Document Permissions #

When you add a user to a project, they automatically receive view access to all scripts and schedules within that project. You can then modify their specific permissions for individual documents if needed.

Removing Users #

To remove a user from a project:

1. Select the checkbox next to the user’s name in the permissions management interface
2. Click “Remove”
3. Confirm the removal

Note: Users will be notified when they are removed from a project. Project creators cannot be removed.

Permission Indicators #

Throughout Think Crew, visual indicators show your permission level for different elements. Look for badges displaying “Creator,” “Edit,” or “View” next to project and document names.
