Hello everyone,

Wanted to know if we have 100 users who can do all the CRUD operations in shotgun then everyone must have event daemon running in their respective machines?

Best to check out the docs:

The Event Daemon is usually run on a single server to run automations triggered by SG activity. A good example automation is:

- Automatically set the ‘Animation’ Task status to ’ready to start’ whenever the status for a Shot’s ‘Layout’ Task is marked as ‘final’, so the animator knows to start working on the Shot.
