Being Part of Multiple Teams
- Users can be the owner of one team and a teammate in multiple teams.
- Louper plans are associated with teams, not individual users (even if the team is a team of one user).
- A user can belong to teams with different plan tiers (Free, Plus, Pro).
Example:
Angela, a producer, uses Louper for three productions: Banana, Orange, and Grapefruit. Each production is managed by a separate vendor with a dedicated Louper team. The vendors add Angela as a collaborator to their respective teams.
- Upon signing in, Angela sees all three teams listed in her dashboard.
- Clicking a team shows the corresponding rooms and filespaces.
- Angela does not require a Louper subscription to participate in these teams.
Advanced Team Permissions
- Team-only and Private Rooms: Designate rooms as accessible to all team members (team-only) or restrict access to specific team members (private).
- Private Filespaces: Create filespaces accessible only to specific team members. By default, filespaces are accessible to all teammates apart from those with the Very Limited Client role.
- Per-Room Host Designation: Assign specific teammates as hosts for individual rooms. Only Owners and Admins are eligible to be a room host.
