People and roles

A company has members with roles (admin, showrunner, contributor) and, per show, section editors.

A company is the group that owns shows, files and skills on the Live Producer Platform. Its people are members, and each member has one role in it.

The Members card on the Account page, with an admin, a showrunner and an invited contributor

Everything on the platform belongs to a company: its shows, its files, its skills and its Spelvin allowance. You can belong to more than one company. The company at the top of the rail is the one you work in; click it to switch, or choose New Company… to make one. You become the admin of a company you make.

Role Does
Admin Manages the members, storage and billing. Can do everything a showrunner does, and delete a show.
Showrunner Makes and publishes shows, keeps skills, assigns section editors.
Contributor Writes the sections assigned to them in the script and brings the files for the parts in them.
Billing Sees the plan, the billing details and the invoices, and buys and changes the plan. Nothing of the shows.

Admins and showrunners use Spelvin; contributors don’t. Only admins and showrunners see Skills in the rail.

Billing lets someone handle the money without running the company. An admin has it always. It comes two ways:

  • Next to a role: a showrunner or a contributor with the Billing box ticked also sees Account › Billing.
  • Alone: the role Billing, for an outside bookkeeper. They sign in to the Billing page and their own profile only, and see nothing of the shows, files or skills.

Billing never takes a seat. See Plans and billing.

A contributor reads the whole script and edits the sections assigned to them: the words, the tags in them and the files on those tags. That is the one rule; there is nothing to set per show, and it holds for the files too: the recording or video of a part in their own sections is theirs to upload, on its tag, in the Files card or through an AI they connect, and nobody else’s. Their changes land in the draft, and they can publish it: a version is always the whole script, with everyone’s changes. See Script editor.

A showrunner can make a person the editor of one section, in the section’s fields under Who edits it. The section’s head names its editors; with nobody assigned it says Showrunner. An editor changes everything in the section: its title and timing, every part, and the files its tags play, and publishes the script. Moving, merging, deleting and adding sections, and closing the script, stay with the showrunner.

Only a member of the company can be chosen: someone new is invited first, as a contributor, on the Account page. In the script their own sections carry a bar in their colour and You edit; the sections they cannot edit are dimmed and say Read only.

A section’s fields open under its head, with Who edits it: two members on, two off

An AI app you connect (Claude, ChatGPT, Claude Code, Cursor) works with your role in the company you chose, and with nothing more: what it may do is ticked when you connect it, and the platform refuses the rest in the words it uses for you. See Connected AI.

The company names its members: an admin gives a first and last name at the invitation, or later with Edit. That name shows on the company’s pages. Your own name, under Account › Profile, shows where the company set none.

There is no password. You sign in with a link sent to your email, or with Apple. The Studio signs in through the browser and confirms the Mac with a code. See Sign in.
