Team Leads

Promoting a Crew Member to lead their team.

Team Leads

A Team Lead is a Crew Member with elevated permissions for one specific team. It's the right role for a department head who needs to manage their own team without being given broader director-level access to the rest of the room.

What changes when someone becomes a Team Lead

  • They get a Team Lead badge — a crown icon in the team's color — visible on the People tab and in the team member list.
  • They can edit cue notes for their team. (Crew Members without this designation can see their team's notes but can't modify them.)
  • They can add and remove members from their own team.
  • If they're the Team Lead for the Lights team specifically, they also get access to the Fixtures tab in room settings.

That's the scope. Team Leads have elevated access to their team and nothing beyond it — they can't access other teams' notes, can't manage rooms, and don't see the director view unless they hold a separate room role that grants it.

How to promote someone

Open the Teams tab on the location and expand the team you want to manage. Each member row in the expanded panel has a Make team lead button. Click it to promote that person. The button changes to Remove lead immediately, and their badge updates.

You can have more than one Team Lead per team — there's no limit.

How to remove the designation

Click Remove lead on the same member row. Their permissions revert to standard Crew Member level for that team. They're not removed from the team itself, just de-promoted.

Who can't be promoted to Team Lead

The following roles already have broader permissions and can't be given Team Lead status: Owner, Director, Associate Director, and Q&A Moderator. These roles operate at a higher level than Team Lead and the designation would be redundant.

Tip

Team Lead is team-specific. Someone can be the Team Lead of Audio without having any elevated access on the Lights or Stage teams. If you want them to lead multiple teams, promote them on each team separately.
