Every user on a project has a member role that defines what they can do on that project. For example, a user with the developer role can access the API whereas an artist cannot.


The member roles on a project are:

  • Supervisor - for users who assign or approve tasks and manage the project or for users that supervise other users in the project with the Veyon tool
  • Line producer - for users who edit the pipeline workflow (only available if the project uses a pipeline)
  • Developer - for users who need to access the API
  • Artist - If the user is not a supervisor, line producer, or developer, they are an artist, by default. These users can use the project's workstations to contribute, but they cannot perform any management tasks or access the API.

Member roles are for controlling access to features on a project. The user also has a studio role that defines what features they can access for the entire studio. The studio roles are Studio owner, Studio manager, and User. To find out about the studio roles, see User roles in Simple Cloud.


Member roles are usually assigned to each user when the project is first created, or when changes are made to the project. But you can give a user a project member role from the user's profile too, as described here:

  1. Log in using a Studio Owner or a Studio Manager account.
  2. On the Dashboard, select Studio to display the Studio page.

    The colored bars at the end of each project represent the user's roles in that project. To find out more, see Member roles for a project.
