Hi all,
Is there a way to assign specific production team members to certain production roles on a project?
For example, at our studio, there may be:
These roles are filled out uniquely per project. We want to avoid having to add all of our production team to every project since they aren’t all working on every project in reality.
This depends a bit on the rest of your story.
By default, any person added to the project staff list is added to the project.
They are then granted access to change and update based on their Permission Role.
If you want to automaitcally assign people to a project (add them to the staff list of a project) you have multiple options:
In Site settings, enable the setting to automatically add staff to a project based on the Booking entity.
Create a webhook or event daemon plugin that does this logic. There are examples available in the event daemon.
if I have not understood the sitiuation properly, please elaborate a bit more on your use case.
I think the general gist is for there to be “project roles”, which for us is most useful with our production team, where they aren’t responsible for specific tasks on assets/shots but rather have a project level role but only on particular projects they are assigned to.
It would be cool to see which people are in these “project roles” on the project overview page too.
I think our workaround for now is to create custom entities for this, but would be a nice thing to have built in.
You can create custom fields for these on the project level (i.e. “Project Manager(s)”) and then assign people to that field.
If you want those assignments to trigger custom permissions then get in contact with the support team to alter the conditional permissions to take into account the new field assignments.
