Updated over a week ago

πŸ” To Grant Permissions you'll need to be either a Circus Admin or Admin. πŸ–₯️ This feature is accessible for desktop users only.

Groups

Before granting anyone permissions to the platform, it's important to first understand our Permission Groups:

Circus Admins

Circus Admins own the production and controls all of its products and settings, including bank account connections, chains of approval, contracts and Permission Groups. This group usually consists of Producers and only a Circus Admin can grant or remove other Circus Admins.
​

Admins

This Permission Group has full access to all products that are active on the production, except for production settings. In addition, Admins can grant Workers Permissions to the all groups below.This group usually consists of Line Producers, Production Managers or Production Accountants and they can edit permissions for the Admins Group and all the groups below. Admins have the ability to create other Admins.
​

Managers

This Permission Group are just like Admins except they cannot edit permissions. This group usually consists of Payroll Accountants.
​

Approvers

This Permission Group are Workers who have been added to the Chain of Approval and can invite or edit all/specific departments within all/specific products. This group usually consists of Producers, Line Producers, Production Managers, Payroll Accountants, or Keys/Heads of Department.
​

Inviters, Editors or Viewers

This Permission Group can be granted to Workers who need access to specific departments within specific products. This group usually consists of Heads of Department or Keys.
​

Health & Safety

This Permission Group can also be granted to Workers who need access to specific data from Start Packs. This group usually consists of Craft Services, Catering or First Aid to obtain emergency contact details but it can also be granted to Coordinators or ADs to get contact details.
​

Pro Tip: Reach out to Circus Support Team to create custom Permission Groups for your production or to grant access to products other than Start Packs.

New Workers
