# Permissions

Kitsu proposes a simple permission scheme to manage your productions. To set permissions for a user, go to the employee page and grant him with one of the following role:

# Artist

Artists can only display the production of which they are part of. They can only comment tasks, upload media, and change their status when they are assigned to it. They only have access to a limited number of status as the Studio manager defines it.

They can:

  • create personal filters on the global page and Task Type page.
  • assign and clear assignation for themselves on their department tasks.
  • create playlist-on-the-fly for every shots or assets, but won't be able to save this playlist.
  • can't see client comments.

The Artist has access to all the features of the production, but only for display.

# Department Supervisor

Department supervisors inherit Artist permissions.

Department supervisors have read and write access to their department(s) they work on: assets, shots, tasks, assignations, statistics, breakdown, and playlists.

They can:

  • assign task to their team artist (same department)
  • post comment on all tasks or their department(s)
  • add/edit a playlist for the studio or the client.
  • see the client comments and validations.
  • see comment on other departments.

They are not allowed to access the studio team, the main timesheets, and the production list. They can't define task types, task statuses, and asset types neither. they can't comment on other departments than theirs, they can't assign artist from other department.

# Production Manager

Production managers inherit Department supervisor permissions.

Production managers have read and write access to their production they work on: assets, shots, tasks, assignations, statistics, breakdown, and playlists.

They can:

  • create assets and shots, per hand, or CSV batch import.
