What admins and operators can do

One admin runs the workspace. Operators run breaks.

Short version

The admin sets everything up and can use every page. Operators run breaks, in the control room and the OBS dock, and nothing else.

If an operator opens a page they can't use, they're taken to the control room.

The admin

  • Each workspace has one admin: the person who created it.
  • The admin can't be removed from Settings, and nobody can be promoted to admin.
  • Invites always create operators.

What operators see

Operators don't get the sidebar. They see a top bar with the workspace's name, Guides (which opens in a new tab), their name and Sign out, and the control room below.

The control room, as an operator sees it

Operators can do everything needed during a show:

  • run breaks and play break pods
  • return to live early
  • play the slate
  • use the OBS dock

They can't change the library, campaigns, pods, the slate or settings, so nothing gets changed by accident mid-show.

Operators and OBS settings

Operators can't open Settings, but their control room and dock still connect to OBS with the details the admin saved there. Save the OBS connection once in Settings → OBS.
