Studio Groups

Studio Groups collects multiple Studio users into a single unit, allowing you to set permissions for all of them at the same time instead of doing it for each person individually. After you have defined a Group, it can be used in any Session or Project you own or create.

When creating Groups, keep in mind that Revu will allow somebody to be in multiple Groups within the same Session or Project; when this occurs, that person's permissions will default to whichever is the most restrictive. As such, adding somebody who is already in a Group to a second Group might not have the desired effect, either by not granting expected permissions (because the first Group's are more restrictive), or by imposing undesired restrictions (because the second Group's are more restrictive).

Only the owner's Groups can be used in a Project or Session, whether the owner is the person who created the Project or Session or somebody who has had ownership transferred to them. Administrators (that is, users with Full Control permissions within the Project or Session) can view the owner's Groups and use them for certain tasks in the Project or Session, but they cannot add or remove people from those Groups, nor can they use their own Groups.

You can manage your Studio Groups from within any Project or Session you own. If necessary, you can start a new Session or a new Project for this purpose.

  1. Open a Studio Session or Project that you own. If one is not currently available.you can start a new Session or a new Project for this purpose.
  2. Open the settings dialog box for the Session or Project. The process for doing so differs slightly for each:
    • For Sessions: Click the Session Name and ID menu and select Settings.
    • For Projects: Click Settings on the Project's tab in the main workspace.
  3. Click the Permissions tab.
  4. Click Manage Groups. The Groups Membership Management dialog box appears.

  5. To create a new Group:
    1. Click in the Groups section. The Add Group dialog box appears.
    2. Enter a name for the Group and click OK.
  6. To add a member to a Group:
    1. Select the desired Group from the Groups list.
    2. Click in the Members section. The Add User dialog box appears.

    3. Enter the email address of the new member and click OK.

      Note: The email address must belong to someone who has created and validated their Studio account before they can be added as a member of a Group.

  7. Repeat as needed to create additional Groups or add more members to a Group.
  8. Click OK.
