Add Staff Creators and Set-up Permissions

Podcasting is a collaborative artform. When building, promoting, and releasing your show, you may want to delegate certain responsibilities to others and give them specific permissions for certain tasks. Supercast makes this easy through the Creators section which allows you to add, edit, and remove the staff behind your podcast while attributing them specific roles and their associated permissions.

This article covers the following:

Adding, Editing, and Removing Creators

1. Navigate to Creators on the left-hand sidebar.

Set-up Creator Roles and Permissions

Roles are custom classifications that you can create for your crew. Roles are differentiated by the permissions they are granted. By establishing different roles, you can create a chain of command and ensure that people at different levels of the organizational structure have access to what they need.
To create a role:
1. Navigate to Creators > Roles and click on New Role in the top right corner.

  • Channel: allows the user to edit landing page and AMA section
  • Creators: allows the user to add and remove creators from an account
  • Subscribers: allows the user to manually add new subscribers, and suspend a subscriber's feed
