CrewDesk

CrewDesk/Features/Roles and permissions

Everyone sees what they need

A freelancer on a two-day shoot does not need the budget. Roles decide what each person can open and change.

One click, no account. The demo is filled with sample productions and rebuilt every day.

Settings in CrewDesk with profile, users, roles and permissions tabs

Four roles to start

  • Producer. Sees and manages everything.
  • Coordinator. Runs projects, tasks and people day to day.
  • Production assistant. Works on tasks and logistics.
  • Crew. Sees what they are assigned to.

Permissions per section

For each role, you choose what it can read and what it can change in each part of the app: projects, tasks, cast, inventory, chat and settings. The menu only shows what a person is allowed to open.

Manage users in one place

Settings list every user with their role. Changing a role takes one click, and it applies at once.

Access is part of respect

Rates, client budgets, performers' phone numbers and measurements are not everyone's business. Roles make the right behaviour the default: a day player does not have to be told not to look, because the page is not there.

Questions

Asked before the first call

Can I change what a role is allowed to do?

Yes. The settings include role management and a permissions table, and a custom version can model your exact org chart.

Can one person have different roles on different productions?

In the demo a user has one role for the whole workspace. Per-production roles can be built to measure.

How is a freelancer removed after a shoot?

From user management in the settings, by removing the account or lowering its role.

Is sign-in secure?

Accounts are protected by passwords stored in hashed form, and sessions expire. Single sign-on with your company's accounts can be added.

CrewDesk is a working application, not a mock-up. Open it, move a project to the next stage, assign a task, and judge it on what it does.
