Advanced Team Permissions
- Team-only and Private Rooms: Designate rooms as accessible to all teammates ("Team-only") or restrict access to specific team members ("Private"). Note that Very Limited Clients can only see rooms that are set to private and that have been explicitly assigned to them.
- Private Filespaces: Create filespaces accessible only to specific teammates. By default, filespaces are accessible to all teammates apart from those with the Very Limited Client role. Note that Very Limited Clients can only see filespaces that are set to private and that have been explicitly assigned to them.
- Per-Room Host Designation: Assign specific teammates as hosts for individual rooms. Only Owners and Admins are eligible to be a room host.
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.
Example:
Angela, a producer, uses Louper with three different companies / productions: Magnetic Inc, AMJ Editorial, and Banana. 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.
