Permissions
Protect your IP: manage access to content in mudstack.
Protecting your IP is a big concern for any game studio. Mudstack is designed from the ground up with this in mind. Besides our secure architecture, the ability to manage permissions for users in your account is the main way you can control access to your content.
Mudstack has 3 primary permissions: Manage Art, Review and Admin. Depending on the plan the account is subscribed to, you can manage permissions at the workspace level.
Account Permissions
When a user joins an account, they can be granted specific permissions at the account level.
All users with workspace access can download and comment on files.
For Artists
Manage art: this is the permission you should grant to artists on the team. This allows them to upload files and versions. They can select specific art leads to review their work when they are ready for feedback. This permission is free.
For Art Leads
Review: this is the permission you should grant to art leads. This allows them to be selected for a review and allows them to provide an approval or a change request.
For Admins & Owners
Admin: this allows the user to administer the account— change the account or workspace name/icon, invite new users to the account, create workspaces and add account members to specific workspaces.
Owner: By default, the account creator is the owner as well as a licensed advanced user. After account creation, this permission can be shared with other users in the account. Only owners can change billing/plan details and delete the account.
Only account Admins and Owners can see the Account members settings in
order to invite users to the account and manage their permissions.
For Viewers
Viewers may not upload content to a workspace or review a file. They can only comment on and download files.
Create a Viewer role at the account or workspace level by removing all other permissions from a user. You can grant this permission to producers, marketers and others.
Workspace Permissions
Account admins always have access to all workspaces in the account, whether private or shared.
On the Enterprise plan, workspace permissions can be different from the account permission as long as the modification is to a lower access level.
For instance, a non-admin user at the account level cannot be made an admin user at the workspace level but the opposite is allowed.
